Seems about right

 

[ScarletDave]

Always important to note if rankings are “if the season ended today” or “where we predict once the season ends” … if the season ended today we are a 6 or 7 yes. If we win the Big Ten I think we are a 3 or 4

Saw this one on the Minny site, which confirms Minny's hate against Rutgers. This person has posted updates each week, and Rutgers has always been in the "last 4 in," regardless of the situation.




EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – Our final Field of 68 projection of 2022 before we head into the “meat and potatoes” of the college basketball season. … conference play.

for starters any NCAA analysis at this point in pointless because there are 18 conference games left to play for most schools

however based on that analysis of q1 and 2 wins, yes Rutgers should be one of the last teams in given their lack of wins compared to other schools and having a quad 4 loss

 

[Scarlet Shack]

this scanairo is my hope

Get out of the 7,8,9. And 10 lines …because we can , as a 5 or 6 seed, beat a 4 or 5 seed and get to the sweet 16

Plus …if you get to the 5 or 6 line , and win your game , you get a 20-30-% chance that you end up with a 13 or 14 seed instead of the 3 or 4.

Far fewer upsets come to the 1 and 2 seeds

I’m gojng to enjoy the journey…and there is a long way to go, but there is nothing wrong , as a fan, for having the bigger prize in mind as you take steps in the process

Bac, that's the Rutgers Screw coming out of you.

99% of the teams on the list have only one Quad 1 win, like Rutgers, so for you to say that Rutgers should be one of the last teams in the tourney isn't correct or truthful. Once we get into mid-January, many of these teams will separate from the pack, and I expect Rutgers to be one of them.

 

[fluoxetine]

The team rankings one is a prediction, not if season ends today.

Torvik also has us as a 6 seed predicted, but 4th team out if season ended today

Our power ratings are good, so these predictions are expecting us to build a resume over the next 2.5 months

That doesn't make sense. Most teams in the "first 4 out" are borderline tourney teams. Not high-seeded teams. I admit I'm clueless about how basketball tourney teams are decided.

First four out if season ended today, 6 seed predicted at end of season. Not both a 6 seed and 1st four out at the same time

[Waldo73]

Way too early, for that crap.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

We don’t have an NCAA resume as of today.

One home win over a projected field team and 2 losses to teams not projected to be in the field. If the tournament started today that would not be an At Large resume.

A lot of at-large teams currently “projected” to be in the field don’t have traditional NCAA resumes.

Its borderline but its waaaaaaay to early. My first one probably drops around Feb 1 and even that one may be done in groupings of teams rather than a traditional bracket
