I mean - Clemson isn’t just going to be 3-0, it’s going to be like 3-0 and the none of the games are even close.
NC St, if they get drilled today, might do more harm than even Pitt did to themselves.

Clemson deserves to be in. They are better than half the Big 10 teams that are projected into the field. The ACC deserves 6 bids.
This is a disaster game for NC St. They might be in, might be in Dayton, or out. But we lost to a potential FF team. They are getting boat raced by Clemson.
Clemson still behind us, but NC St could have just fallen below us too

Clemson outscoring NC St 65-28. Brownell has all 5 starters in trying to run it up for NET. I love it

NCSU might have possibly played their way out. Clemson could pass us if they beat UVa.
Villanova getting beat pretty badly by Creighton which would eliminate any chance of a bid stealer coming out of the Big East now as the 4 teams left Marquette UConn Xavier and Creighton are all safely in the tournament.
It’s a perfect result. Nova, Oregon, New Mexico, and a non-FAU CUsA Team were the 4 most likely bid stealers.

PSU = In
Moving NC St, Prov, and Illinois to the bubble category.
7 get in assuming FAU doesnt win their tournament OR there is some other bid stealer
In alphabetical order until I look deeper

Would be super helpful if USU and ASU lose these midnight games. That would just about clinch it for us.
I would add Boise to that list. Lunardi has them one ahead of us. They aren’t a lock, 100% lock if they lose tomorrow. They fit somewhere in that group.
Only 3Q1 wins, 2 Q3 losses.
Their SOS is 27 which is hard to believe when you look at their non-con. A&M was good but after that its Colorado, Wash St, and Utah Valley on their non-con. 12-6 Q1/2
ASU and USU both win unfortunately while ACC eating their own in the quarterfinals.

Need ASU to lose to Arizona tonight and need Boise State to beat Utah State as well. Also, you wanna root for San Diego State to beat San Jose State in the semis so San Jose State doesn’t become a potential bid stealer. Also, need to hope for teams like Rutgers, Penn State, and Ohio State don’t all advance to the semis of the Big Ten Tourney. If all those results go against Pitt today then it might be time to panic going into the weekend but I don’t think they all will.
I would have said for all of this to happen would almost be impossible. But after the end of our season anything is possible. But from what I’m reading from bracketologists and hearing especially from the committee in my heart Pitt is going to be on regardless of that happens this weekend. But you never know especially if 3-4 teams in the other side of bubble win their conference tournament and steal a bid
Well, Nevada, UNC, and OK St lost so not all bad.
But PSU, Rutgers, Miss St, USU, ASU, and Clemson winning makes it an overall bad day for Pitt.
One of these teams won't make it.
Rutgers, Miss St, USU, ASU, Pitt, Clemson, NC St, Prov, Illinois. If there are no bid stealers, they all get in. Nevada still has a chance but I am putting them out.
Pitt has 2 Q3/4. Rutgers has a W at Purdue, a 1 seed. I probably would put Rutgers in over us but its really close.
Is Conference USA even a mid-major anymore (and not small conference)? AAC, Mountain West, WCC, and A-10 are all superior. Sun Belt maybe too.
FAU isn't much better than UNT or UAB. They'll be a 3 or 4 point favorite. UNT is playing 24 miles from home
Good start for Pitt. Rutgers (or Miss St) isn’t going to lose by as much as we want, but they avoid the big win. Florida Atlantic survives and get a chance to eliminate (along with Oregon) one of the 2 main bid stealers.
Pitt wanted 7 teams to lose today and one team to win: FAU win, and Rutgers, Mississippi St, Clemson, Vandy, Penn St (only to keep the NW win up there) Oregon and Arizona St.
I doubt we will go 8 for 8, but a 3 for 3 start is as good as you can do.
