Re: SMU considered a bubble team...Just keep winning...and lol at being on the bubble
Re: SMU considered a bubble team...
Bad schedule karma. Most years Pitt, Michigan, Stanford and USC would be a good OOC schedule. Most years UConn, Memphis and Temple would be strong in-conference opponents.

And at home???? Party at The Wopper!
Re: SMU considered a bubble team...
You are either joking, or you haven't seen a game this year. Its got to be one or the other.
Re: SMU considered a bubble team...
I don't think we will lose - we should mop the floor with them. Should win by 30+. My point is that this is the one game that - if we were to lose - would keep us out of the NCAA Tourney. We could lose to any one of our other opponents and still get in - but a loss to Tulane would be devastating and would put us in NIT. "Moral Victories Make Me Sick" - TR
SMU considered a bubble team...He did not suggest we could lose to Tulane, he said if we did lose to them we could be in the NIT. I disagree with him, but it is odd that people are accusing him of saying we could lose to Tulane.
Re: SMU considered a bubble team...
Considering the lack of respect the AAC has received from the committee since year 1, I'd count on a 9 or 10 seed regardless of how we finish. The AAC teams that make it always seem to get seeded 2-3 slots below where we think they should. Remember 2013-14 when #5 Louisville got a 4 seed after winning an AAC regular season title and the AAC tourney when we had 5 ranked teams and 4 bids.
Re: SMU considered a bubble team...As I said in this thread http://www.ponyfans.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=82845&start=180, no reason to get your panties in a wad. There are very few "locks" right now -- the first release of this annual column -- because there is still a lot of ball left to be played. The Bubble Watch column is not predictive like Bracketology is, it is based solely on results to date and assumes nothing about future results. Only those who could basically lose every remaining game and still be in the tourney are deemed Locks. Everyone else -- including lots of great teams (like us) -- either "should be in" based on current resume, or "have work left to do." We undoubtedly have work left to do, and Bracketology and other projections are where you go to find out if the experts think we'll take care of business and actually do that work.
Re: SMU considered a bubble team...We would beat Tulane with 4 players
Re: SMU considered a bubble team...Given our program's history with the NCAA I won't believe we are a lock until we are holding the AAC Tournament trophy. We need to keep winning. Period.
Back off Warchild seriously.
Re: SMU considered a bubble team...
Perhaps we should try this - it will show the selection committee how good we really are... "Moral Victories Make Me Sick" - TR
Re: SMU considered a bubble team...Given the seeming parity at 10-30 this year I think we are good up until three more losses total. THEN we might be a bubble team.
If we beat Temple and Cincy this week we get a few more believers in the polls. If by some chance we can win out the regular season maybe we end up somewhere 10-15 and worthy of a really good seed. Party at The Wopper!

Is that you Ms. Pelosi?
Re: SMU considered a bubble team...
I don't get it
Re: SMU considered a bubble team...I don't trust the cmte at all. Win out reg season or if we lose one, win the AAC tourney. Anything short of that, and I'm holding my breath.
