HS_Coach_C Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 http://www.rpiforecast.com/wizard/Nebraska.html I found this link pretty interesting. You can look at current RPI and play around with "what-if" scenarios. For instance, if Nebraska wins their final 3 games, their RPI is predicted to be 46th. I then did the same thing but had the wins over Marist, Delaware State, and Stetson dropped because those teams all have an RPI over 300. Nebraska's RPI, with 3 less wins, would be 25th!

Without spilling the beans for anyone else doing the exercise, no. I reorder and listed in order of my ranking without knowing who each was. My list isn't the list order in the tweet provided.

This is pretty interesting. The caveat is I'm sure it's also true - at least to some extent - if you drop the "worst wins" for other teams around us as well. Quote Link to comment
HS_Coach_C Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/team/nebraska-cornhuskers/bracketology Another site with some odds on making the tournament. If NU gets 22 wins, the chance of making it is 42.0%. If 23 wins, it goes up to 80.1%. 24 wins puts it up to 96.1%. This basically is what many on here have been saying. It obviously depends on who those wins are against, and it depends on other teams, but basically 3 more wins and Nebraska should feel pretty good, 4 more and I don't see how the committee keeps them out. 4 Quote Link to comment
The Murphinator Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Vanderbilt beat Mississippi State on a buzzer beater! Was one of the next four out teams on Lunardi's bubble. Edited February 15, 2018 by The Murphinator 1 Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Miss. State was projected in 6 brackets that Nebraska wasn't. Providence just beat Villanova, so pretty much have no chance of replacing them. Edited February 15, 2018 by Moiraine 1 Quote Link to comment

I know it didn't count, but Nebraska beat Mississippi State in an exhibition game, so I would hate to see them get in as a bubble team over us. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 bracketmatrix got updated again. We're still in next four out, but on 15 brackets this time. Quote Link to comment
