Seems like ESPN likes to cite Joe Lunardi's bracketology as 'gospel'......said if Mississippi loses tonight that they become the first team out and Gonzaga the last team in (according to Lunardi).

Always been that way.   Drives me crazy every time they do it but they pay the guy a lot to be the most recognizable bracketologist so they like to get their moneys worth.  Just like when they pushed BPI as the metric of choice since it’s their metric.    Glad they toned that down over the years

Yep.  That said, I do know that Mississippi's metrics despite their 19-6 record aren't what the committee likes.  They do have 3 quad 1 wins but 15 of their 19 wins are quad 3 and 4.  Kind of a mixed bag of a schedule left -- right now down 8 at Mississippi State which would be a quad 1 loss.  Games left are South Carolina (quad 2), Alabama (quad 1), at Missouri (quad 3), at Georgia (quad 2), Texas A&M (quad 2).  Current NET is 67 which is more likely out than in.  If they lose tonight and only win two of their last five that  would put them at 21-10 overall but with poor efficiency metrics and not really that strong of an schedule.

Definitely.  I don’t have Ole Miss in as of now
