Cyclones NCAA tourny seed

[Lunardi2.0]

I know this has been talked about in other threads but I just wanted to start one just for this topic.

- I think we can agree the clones will be in to the tournament, it’s just a matter of what seed and where they are going to play.

- I follow college basketball pretty closely and read and follow bracket predications every day from day 1 and have for years. From what I have seen in the years past and from looking at this year’s predictions and articles I have read I believe I have a good idea of what seed the cyclones will land on. Obviously this is just my opinion but it’s a very educated one.
- I know the committee says they look at the whole year and don’t focus on the way a team is trending or how they ended the year but year after year this has shown as false. I think that is because the committee is human and they pay attention to the recent records and recent trends pretty closely.
- I know Iowa State has the most quad 1 wins in the nation but it’s been awhile since they got one of those and that has to play in as a factor in the committees heads
- If they somehow beat Baylor on Saturday and then lose in the first round of the b12 tourney I believe they will be a 8 seed in the big dance.
-If they lose to Baylor but win a game in the b12 tourney you are looking at beating a lower end b12 team which no team in b12 is lower end but still looks bad as a L. I believe they will be a 9 seed.
- if they lose out- I believe you are looking at a 10 seed at this point.

I know these all look pretty bad for seeds from what the recent bracketologies have them at but looking at years past on teams that fissile out at the end of the year, they are penalized with their seed and come out \worse than most think they will.

Let the games begin and let’s see how they all turns out! Hopefully I’m wrong and they get a better seed but we will see

I'm guessing Palm 2.0 screen name was taken.

ISU does have a healthy # of Q1 wins, but KU, Baylor, Texas, K-State, Alabama and Purdue might dispute the "most quad 1 wins in the nation" part.

I thought ISU had the most top 25 wins. I swear they've said that on post game shows and broadcasts.

Sorry, I was wrong on that. I just thought I heard they did. Still have a lot

That could be true, if it's at time game was played. If so, would need to add "caveat" for UNC and Nova, both which dropped out of top 25 long ago.

Even, still have KU, BU, Texas, KSU, TCU (twice).

No way we get a 10 seed regardless of how the season ends. Losing out probably gets us on the 7 line, maybe the 8 if there's some type of conflict with teams who have played previously.

If we beat Baylor on the road, then 5 or 6 probably.

Usually it goes by when the game was played.

For example UNC was #1, just cause they aren't now doesn't take away a win against #1, it just means we broke them

Beat Baylor, lose in 1st round of Big 12: 7 seed
Beat Baylor, lose in the semifinal of the Big 12: 7 seed
Beat Baylor, lose in the championship game: 6 seed
Beat Baylor, win the Big 12 tournament: 5 seed

I don't think these change a whole lot by losing to Baylor. Maybe 1 seed worse.

Edit: I forgot that if we beat Baylor, we won't be playing the extra game.

Hate to keep bumping this thread, but extra credit for the misspelling of "tourney" as "tourny" (In the thread title!) and fizzle as "fissile."

 

[NoCreativity]

Agreed, people that think this is a 6 seed just because we beat alot of good teams in Ames will be highly disappointed. I predict a 10 or 11 if we lose out.
