there might be a path, but man it's narrow. every other team I've seen listed as a bubble contender has at least one Quad 1 win. we just did not do enough in non-con / got screwed by a very down AAC year
there are 36 at large bids and the P5 are likely gobbling up a bare min of 30...that, at best, leaves 6 bids between the Mountain West, WCC, MVC, A-10 and AAC...while needing the chalk to play out in most tourneys, and especially hoping that someone like McNeese or UC Irvine don't lose in their conference tournament final.
looking at resumes...it would be GREAT if Bradley fell off and Drake won the MVC...everyone at the top of the A-10 keeps beating up on one another ensuring a 1 bid league...and someone like Boise State doesn't start to make any noise.
I hear you overall but I don’t think this year's SEC is one to gripe about. All of their schools except South Carolina finished OOC play with no more than 2 losses. Tennessee, Florida, and Oklahoma finished OOC undefeated. I just can't justify leaving any of those teams out except for Arkansas and LSU who have been abysmal in league play.
No apologies for conference road wins in tough environments. These kind of wins can separate to make a great season from a good season. Not the cleanest but gritty as always.
Always like our chances in the rock fight.
