  B and C just looking it over real quick
• sleeper

  

  Team C. That is the only one. Maybe team A, maybe.
• Fly4Fun

  

  At first glance I thought A and B, but after looking over it again I think A and C.
• Gblock

  A should get props for the SOS, it sets a good precedent to teams to play people. Team c after that

  C
  A
  
  
  B
  D
• FairwoodKing

  C seems to be the best. And and I would say D is the best of the rest.

  C
  
  A
  D
  
  B
  
  C is the only one I'd be gung-ho about getting in.
  
  A and D are both kind of okay for me, but A's overall SoS and having a win over RPI #6 puts them above D, who has two home wins over top 25 RPI teams, but a weak-ass non-conference schedule. The fact their overall SoS is #62 says they have a very good conference and they are 9-7 in it, which is a big positive, though.
  
  B's main positive is a road win over a top 50 RPI team. But they're pretty blah aside from that.

  C is the only one I like.
  
  But then Id go B.

  Thanks for playing. Looks like you agree with the consensus to a point -
  
  [sp]Team C, the team you all like, is Temple, and while a bubble team, they seem a pretty good pick to make the tournament.
  
  Team A is Tennessee (in Jerry Palm's latest bracket)
  Team B is Massachusetts (in Jerry Palm's latest bracket)
  Team D is Iowa State (last four out)[/sp]

  C should be in already. All the others have some work to do, but I like A moving forward.

  Does ESPN use a different SOS formula? They've got Temple 51, Tennessee 26, UMass 75, and Iowa State 65.
  
  In this case I'd move Tennessee in.

  Strange. I pulled my SOS from here http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology/team-comparison/TENN/UMASS, which I think aligns with rpiforecast as well: http://www.rpiforecast.com/live-rpi.html

  I honestly didn't know Tennessee was having a decent run as of late. Or UMass. And I assumed Iowa State was doing better. This year is going to be crazy.

  No to Tennessee. Trash team.

  Finds out Tennessee is Team A.

  lol..from "maybe" to "trash" and all it took was someone putting a name to the stats.
• sleeper

  

  If Tennessee played in the B1G, they'd finish behind Penn State. They are not good.
