Updated Lundardi bracketology

[cyclones500]

5 seed appears optimistic. I guess if you expect bubble is more realistic, 5 seed is way overboard. If you think ISU is in single-seed range, though, if you compare others in his 5-6-7, not many options to supplant us. Maybe Ohio State, Tennessee, among those on 6 line. Florida at 7 could be too low. Also, a lot of teams moved up a notch w/ Michigan dropping so far (I think his previous bracket projected U-M as a 2).

If ISU at 5 is shocking, what is EIU at 6 seed? Joe has got his hands on some good **** somewhere.

I can't help but picture Lunardi getting the Milton themed office cube at ESPN.

Bracketology in May = Dumb

Correction...

Bracketology = Dumb

Let me ask you this. With out bracketology you would have no clue if isu has a chance at the ncaa tournament or not when they have those average years. Wouldn't you rather have some idea rather than just taking a shot in the dark?

I'll go to games with or without a member of the media spitballing about our potential without knowing who is playing on the team yet.

Parrish has Iowa 16 in the Top 25 and 1. VERY bold

I can respect that view. I assume you feel equally ambivalent about way-early top 25 rankings, too?

Regarding your first post, bracketology in May is "dumb," ... and bracketology "in general" is dumb. To be consistent, do you feel the same way about op 25 polls during the season?

You sure that wasn't just his B1G rankings? 16th seems about right for Iowa in those.

 

[andybernard]

No way, only an uber educated expert could go out on a limb and list Duke, UNC, Kentucky and Michigan State as their one seeds.

Dude knows his basketball

lolz. you mean clickbait.

 

[awd4cy]

Wouldn’t be the first time Joe is way off on something.

 

[NoCreativity]

Lunardi is on crack, the only way they get a 5 seed is if they overachieve to their talent level and coaching. Thats something that hasnt happened yet in 4 years, so who knows, maybe they are due for a surprising season.

 

[woodm07]

While i believe a 5 seed is too good to be true, i can't help but notice the potential in this team. Like Haliburton who some are projecting as a first round draft pick next year, or Jacobson who lead the team in scoring a few games, or Nixon who has a reputation of being tuff and can consistently score, and others like Leach who was a 5 star. I could go on. Understand, I think we are not near a 5th seed, but there is potential here.

Prior to Cook and Moss leaving, I would have agreed with that. Not now though.

I'm guessing this time of year this is compiled with a highly complex process involving a dart and a dart board.

Riley Till really moves the needle.

Because of Prohm's pants and ties! Duhhh!

Yes. All Polls are Dumb. Just my opinion.

Just dumb.

If Nixon makes an improvement similar to Shayok/Jacobson’s sit-out season we’re a tournament team.
