Why not an 11 in Albany

If Rutgers goes 1-2 or even 0-2,why isn't this possible, since Auburn and West Virginia have variously been listed there are as the last 2-3 byes,avoiding the play in game?

I would be perfectly happy with an 11 in Dayton at this point. Just let us get the third banner and call it a year.

If there's some kind of positive out of last night, this would be it. Although still not that likely of going to Albany as an 11.

If they go 0-2 they’re going to miss it. You’ve said this team is squarely in the tourney, that is not the case

My son and I were discussing this. As long as we make the big dance, then going into it as a 10 or 11 (as long as it’s not a “first four” in Dayton) might be preferable to being an 8 or 9, because we can win our first round game and face a 2 or 3 in the second round instead of a 1.
