Figured it might be easier to track all of the bracketology projections in one single thread.

THE bracketology thread that matters won't begin until @bac2therac starts his.
This thread will be for the bracketology also-rans.

incoming February 7 but maybe a teaser thread next week
but this is probably a good thread to capture all the brackets from the media bracketologists
Looking at one of those bracketology websites, Rutgers is among only 21 teams that they give a 1% or better chance to earn a one seed in the tournament. Overall it says we are 87% likely to make the tournament while Indiana is 97% likely to make the tournament. Funny because we have the same record and we beat them badly head to head. They've got better OOC wins.

I looked at how the first weekend geography will play out with the current projected seeding per bracket matrix last night.
As a 4 seed (or better) we'd 100% be in Albany.
As a 5 seed we'd likely be in Albany, possibly Orlando
As a 6-8 seed we'd be somewhere other than Albany.
And I don't see that really changing, unless UConn gets back to winning ways and ends up as a 3 seed (or better).

A potential second round game vs Gonzaga (currently a 3 seed) would be amazing and maybe a better matchup for RU.
sucks that the First Round tickets are already sold and just resale available. They should not sell tickets until the bracket is release.
Rutgers' average seed on bracketmatrix.com (79 brackets) is 5.53. The majority of the brackets have Rutgers as a 5th or 6th seed. There are a few that have them as a 7th. Only Bazinga Bracketology has Rutgers lower as an 8th seed.

Bracket Dave (one of the best out there) has us as a 5 seed vs Oral Roberts in Albany after updating for the weekend results.

Wachtel has us as a 5 seed today as well (albeit it the lowest of the 5 seeds)
CBS has Palm's updated bracket. He has us as a 7 playing Nevada. He had us at 5 going into the weekend.
Fast forwarding less than 2 week and weāre in much better position.
Wins @ projected 1, projected 5, projected 7 and @ projected 9 is a solid body of work.
Itās too bad Rider lost that game to Prov on opening day but they still have a good chance to make the field along with UMass Lowell.
crunching my numbers now....6/7 lines are all close. 4 Big 10 schools all on those lines. I see Jerry Palm dropped us to 9 but he has been the low end all year
Ru is going to have a tough time getting back to 5. Hopefully we do enough to stay on the 6-7 line to avoid the 8-9 line but I am not convinced
Every year this dude underrates Rutgers and I donāt understand the beef tbh.
