Big game Saturday
Ok this is my spot to piss off the constant negative nellys on the board.
Hearing a few talk about NET. Let me give you some historical info that may keep everyone engaged. Currently the Jays have #2 strength of schedule in the country. How important is that on selection Sunday? Read on.
A few years ago Vanderbilt had #2 SOS. Problem was they were like 19-15. A great debate went on. In or out. They were 2-12 vs Quad 1. They were something like 7-1 against Quad 2. Yeah 15 losses but 9 Q1 and 2 wins pretty strong. And the SOS.
I had them last team in over some strong mid majors and other power teams with 20 wins but with a much weaker SOS. In the end the committee selected them— siting the SOS. They were in the play in game but not the last team in.
Fast forward to CU. #2 SOS. Currently 9-8. Let’s project.
Wins @ home—X,Providence, Marquette, Nova, Gtn, STJ
Wins @ road— Gtn,Butler, SH, STJ,
So that’s 10-4 going forward including 1 home loss and 3 road losses. One win in BE tourney and that’s a 20-13 record. Plus that would be 4 quad ones and 6 quad twos.
I don’t think that’s a crazy run. And with those stats and SOS they would get in with room to spare.
Just shedding a little historical Bracketology light on the subject. Also pointing out that while many are ripping our difficult schedule — in the end it may be the thing that saves us.
