I'll update the projections each week....Thoughts?

I can only really comment on the ACC, and I would say that 5 teams sounds about right...at least right now. But I think you have to take out Miami and put in BC.

 

No, BC has not beaten a ranked opponent. But they did just beat Miami at Miami. And they're 14-4, whereas Miami is 11-7.

 

Oh, and the SEC doesn't deserve 5 teams. Probably neither Kentucky nor Arkansas deserves it at this time.

 

10 teams from the Big East would be amazing, but it's hard to argue with any of those you have listed. St. John's record doesn't impressive, but they just knocked off Louisville and Pitt back-to-back. Marquette's schedule is a joke, but they did beat UCONN. I don't think Marquette will make it in ultimately.

Ohio won't make the NCAAs.

lol at Kentucky... right now

Marquette's in now because they beat UConn. Miami's in with their recent stretch of solid wins....BC is a fluff and puff show.

Kent State is hot baby...6 in a row in the M.A.C and in first wooohooooo..time to get back to the elite 8 like in 2002 (dreams)

 

 

it's either going to be miami of Ohio or Kent State in the MAC. IMO

Kent and Akron are the two best teams in the MAC.

I dont know if Michigan or Iowa make it of the Big 10

 

then again, a win by Iowa vs IU this week would really help

good call, i forgot about Akron, it will be a real dog fight between those 3 for the MAC bid in the tourny

Not necessarily. One of them is going to get screwed in seating The MAC West and East winner get the 1 and 2 seed and automatically go to the semis. The MAC West winner is most likely going to be NIU. So the favorites will prolly be the East and West winner because they have a nig advantage over everyone else.

At the risk of repeating myself, BC just beat Miami AT Miami this Saturday. In the long run, maybe that isn't a big deal. But if, in a hypothetical exercise such as this, you're choosing between the two at this point in time, I have to think that matters. Also, BC's worst loss is on the road against GTech. Other than that, they lost to 3 ranked teams (two on the road), and that's it. Miami has a little more to answer for...they have 3 losses that are on a par (or worse) with BC's loss at GTech.

 

Miami lost at Air Force, Michigan, and Temple.
