do they do an end of year ranking, after the tournament?

[Grant Carter]

If you mean after the conference tournaments, then yes.

do they do an end of year ranking, after the tournament?

Yes. And after the NCAA tourney, too.

My predictions:

Lose first game of AAC tourney, we end the year #25 and end up an 8 seed. (maybe that seed is too high?)
Lose in semis, we end the year #23 and end up a 7 seed
Lose in finals, we end the year #20 and end up a 6 seed
Win the finals, we end year #18 and end up a 5 seed (sunshiney I know)

Of course, there's a lot of basketball left to play across all these conference tourneys and there's a lot to shake out, but it's fun to play around with scenarios.

We will be a 6 regardless.

[Statler]

We will be a 6 regardless.

I agree with this for the seedings. That is 1-2 worse seeding spots than if you go straight off what the RPI would be, which feels right based on how they treated Louisville, Cincy, etc last year.
