Bracketology and Team Resumes

[BGVille Hoosierfan 2,909]

Arizona is getting worked over at home by the worst team in the Pac12. Have to wonder what kind of position this puts Arizona in. I know the NET has Arizona top 10 but Sagarin has them at 33. Overall record would be 20-11 (10-8 in Pac12) They are 3-7 vs Quad 1, 5-3 vs Quad 2, and 12-1 vs Quads 3/4. They will have 4 sub 60 NET losses (Washington, Oregon State, St. John’s, UCLA) This resume looks similar or worse than ours.

Arkansas' attempt to get back int he conversation probably ended with a loss at Texas A&M today.

Furman lost in the So Con quarterfinals.  Not that bid of deal, but the thought was that the only way East Tennessee St could possibly have a chance of at an at large bid would have been if they lost to Furman in the finals.

Have gotten it down to 9 with 14 1/2 left.  Pattern today has been for bubble teams to get down big, come back, and then a shot at the buzzer either wins or loses it.

Teams it appears with the most at stake in the next few days ... Texas Tech, Texas, Stanford, Xavier, UCLA.

Dropped 9 spots after losing in the final minute to B1G Champs and top 25 team?!?! Huh??? Purdue loses to bubble team Rutgers and drops 1 spot. Ok.

Too much based on analytics and not enough on actual results IMO.

According to the #1 Bracketologist our overall seed (35) stayed the same and stayed at 9 seed. 9 teams below us before we’d even be considered to be left out.

This is bad analytic even. 

[Uspshoosier 45,766]

According to Pomeroy rankings, #iubb (39th) is 7-11 vs. teams ranked higher than them, 12-1 vs. teams ranked lower than them.
According to NET rankings, #iubb (60th) is 9-12 vs. better teams, 10-0 vs. worse teams.

Bad day for Bubble teams yesterday. That bodes well for us. Unless an absolute calapse vs Nebraska, we are securely in.

It is based on actual results. It puts emphasis on margin of defeat and margin of victory instead on just W/L. Therefore it’s trying to be a correlation of the “eye test” and analytics.

Despite building a fairly solid NCAA resume we haven’t looked good in the process except for a handful of games.

Problem is with the adj off/def numbers, weighting those too much means a couple of blowouts against decent teams outweigh a whole bunch of losses. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,843]

So, IU dropped 9 spots yesterday in NET....for losing a Quad 1 game.  IU is at 60, Minnesota is in 40s.  Can we just stop the NET madness.

Could be. Seems to explain some of the discrepancies.

Bracketville (top ranked bracketologist over the last five years) has IU as a 9 seed after yesterday’s games.  He has no Big Ten teams truly on the bubble...IU and Rutgers at 9, Purdue not in first 8 out.

[LIHoosier 26,209]

New matrix, IU drops to 1st 10 seed but is in a virtual tie with Oklahoma for last 9 seed. 28th of 36 at large teams.

10 is better than 9 most years.
