Lunardi moved us back to Last Four Byes

Personally. All due respect. The “I give up” tells me he doesn’t know ****.
Definitely see a possibility of moving down to a 10 which honestly isn’t terrible.
Today was absolute chaos and that throws a ton of teams onto the bubble that were deemed safe just a couple of days ago.
True. A lot of bid stealers, which slides everyone down. I feel good about where we are.
Thank Goodness we beat Tennessee
Well of course he doesn't because the bracket predictions are meant to be snapshots of how he thinks the field would look like in that moment.
So when things change, like auto bid surprised, the bracket changes.
His point in making that comment was to highlight how chaotic/surprising this weekend has been.
I dislike Lunardi being some guru for bracket predictions and based on actual bracket predictions when my for Ed's and I gave a damn, he wasn't any more accurate then in simple Sunday selection predictions of who makes the field.
Further, he wasn't always more correct in predicting seeding than some of us, especially after thr 3 seed line.
With that in mind, even I don't hold it against him that teams were upset in conference tournaments and his predictions keep changing. If I can keep in mind that his predictions are simply snapshots in time and show how the field would be if selection took place right then, anyone should be able to keep that in mind.
This year is different.
There is always spots for 4 at large bids as 11 seeds to go to Dayton. Because of all the bid steals that should be low seeded AQs, the first at large bids would be 10 seeds.
If they seed appropriately, the first four in Dayton would be 10 seeds this year. It makes me wonder if the committee will artificially overseed schools like NC State, Oregon and Drake as 10 seeds to bump at large schools down to 11 line to justify sending them to the first four in Dayton.

I'm always amazed people pay so much attention to bracketology. Other than approximate seedings, it's a total crapshoot what the committee will do. And honestly, pretty much anyone can get the projected seedings approximately right if they just pay a little attention. We're somewhere between a 9 and 11 seed.
He gets the field right every year except for maybe one team. Hes terrible at seeding.
Most anyone could get at least 64 of the 68 right. If you're truly a bubble team, like we were a week ago, sure, see if he has you in or out. But watching the projected seedings and matchups is pointless.
You obviously didn't see my bracket last year **
Looks like we're closer to the bubble than many thought, that's the fact. Matter of fact, we're right on it. 'Should' has little to do with it.
Beat Southern and one of the countless SEC games we choked in, and this doesn't matter. Glad we beat Tennessee because without that, we probably ARE in Dayton for sure.
If they didn’t beat Tennessee they might not even be in Dayton. That was a massive win.
Yeah with the benefit of hindsight, just beating LSU wasn’t enough. After the results of last night we’d been in major trouble without the second UT win.
