11, last 4 byes would be my guess.   I would need to deep dive after todays games to give a more accurate guess 

What do you think the ceiling is?

I would say 10 just because I don’t think they will move it after sundays game should IU make it.  I am thinking 11 if we lose tomorrow, 10 if we win.

I think the problem is ESPN pushes for an answer so quickly he has to post it without much diving.  I also think he doesn’t change it if he thinks he made a mistake because…it’s obvious his job isn’t really about accuracy.

He does work for the same company whose NBA mock draft guy would go in after the draft and change mock draft articles to make it look like he called it.

I can't stand ESPN (therefore Lunardi) because like USPS said the only reason we show up on his 4-out lists is because he knows we'll all get pissed off and provide The Mouse with more clicks and views. Most of us know better and know who to follow for real info, but the casual masses do not.

Sounds right.   History tells you that the B1G teams in the final game don’t really change seed wise regardless of the outcome so if IU gets to the finals their seed will be set

An 11-6 leaves a lot of room for a good first-round matchup

Crazy sports dude has us at a 12.  Current 5 seeds from the same list: Saint Mary's, Texas, Houston, Uconn.  Potential Kelvin Sampson matchup?

[IUc2016 7,121]

Just avoid the 8-9 and I am good.

I think you misspelled guaranteed. 

I don't see the NCAA passing up that story line if IU ends up at a 12 and Houston is a 5.

Sweet lord, we either get a USPS wet dream of getting to knock out Wild Will Wade or a first to 30 game against Texas in that scenario.

Our defense would destroy LSU’s undisciplined play imo

I’m curious to see IU’s net later tonight

Lol that’s why I said later tonight. I think it updated around 3:30am

[AKHoosier 6,893]

This thread is more fun now. 

Seriously so great to be daydreaming about seeding scenarios again. 

I'd have to think an appearance in the title game would bump us up to a 10 at least.

[Uspshoosier 45,678]

A lot more traffic in here now that IU is safe 

playing Iowa is best case.   Although the Rutgers loss will probably stay a Q3 playing Iowa gives IU a chance to play the B1G team with the best NET ranking now.   House money

Iowa scares me

In your mind - if IU loses to Iowa tomorrow, is IU 100% in the tourney, 99%, 95%?

just trying to avoid me thinking it’s a lock if there is any opening to the contrary - don’t want to be there on Sunday completely schocked

Can’t say 100% because at the end of the day I’m not in the room and they have made some questionable selections before but I would be floored if they are not in this tournament 

[vemmeistars 202]

So is IU now ahead of Rutgers, Michigan, VCU/Dayton, Notre Dame, Xavier, Wake Forest, SMU?

Also, would IU jump Wyoming, Creighton, Memphis and Marquette with a win tomorrow?
