ESPN uses it for bracketology. Good site. Comforting to see the Suckeyes at 5%. Of course they are locks though.

I find it funny that they are actually expecting to go 7-2 in their remaining games and end up 10-8 in conf...if you want to head to the dark side and read the drivel, well, you know what board to check out :twitcy:

Guess that superbowl took all the fight out of their team...wish they'd win a bit more to keep that as an RPI top 100 loss...they long ago dropped from the top 50.

It's not just on HN...we've got guys on this board saying the same thing. :unsure:

I think the odds of Iowa going 7-2 are pretty darned slim.

DC, you talking about guys thinking IOWA goes 7-2 or that ISU goes 7-2 ? I guess every fanbase has some of those....

I could actually see it happening.

at Wisconsin L
Northwestern W
at Penn State W
Minnesota L
at Nebraska W
Purdue W
at Indiana L
Illinois W
Nebraska W

Even so, 7-2 might not be enough to get Iowa into the tournament, unless it involves wins at Wisconsin/vs. Minnesota, and at Indiana.

that's only good enough if they get 2 of the 3: @ wisconsin, vs Minnesota, @ Indiana. They will beat Minnesota and lose to Indiana. Lose @ Wisconsin and bubble is popped.

Your scenario is 6-3. But...it could happen, but I don't think it's very likely at all. I think the chances that they drop at least one of those games they "should win" are pretty good.

You have to be a pretty damned good team to go on a 7-2 run in conference play, especially in what everyone considers the best conference in basketball. Looking around at the teams who have gone 7-2 or better in conference play so far, those are some very good teams. I don't think Iowa is one of them.

ISU could easily go 7-2 with that slate. Minnesota is not that good. Lose @ Wisconsin and @Indiana would be it.

Iowa is going to have to go 7-2 and one of those 7 wins are going to have to be over Minny or IU to get in. They still don't have a win over a Top 25 team. Their resume sucks right now.
 
I see you have Iowa State playing UNLV (rematch) in the first round and then Kansas in the next round. Can you explain how this can happen? I thought you couldn't see conference rivals til the sweet 16.

sent this to Lunardi. Still don't understand his logic to it. No more rematches please.

Not to mention their RPI is 87. It went up a little bit after the loss to Minnesota, but beating a bunch of ****** teams and losing to marquee teams won't increase their RPI enough to get an at large bid.

The ONLY bid they will be getting is an NIT bid.
 
So with us getting a win Saturday (I'm confident...so sue me) what seed do we move up to? 7? 6?

I think 7 sounds reasonable only because that Tech loss will still have some lingering stench. Sure be nice to have a sweep of a top 15 ranked team.
 
In the latest ESPN's bracketology I would love to see some those 1 vs 9/8 games..
Duke vs Kentucky and Michigan vs Oklahoma State and Notre Dame vs Indiana and Florida vs North Carolina

How are those for games... All those #1 seeds could easily lose as well
