Was about to post that.

99.15% probability we are in.

Unless we just get humiliated by Houston (and even then) I can't imagine us missing out at this point

You are probably right, but the 0.85% is basically the possibility of a whole bunch of teams who would not get an at large bid winning their conference tournaments. Cheer for the favorites in other tournaments.

We are not missing the NCAA tournament.
Only thing I'm worried about is being sent to Spokane. :)

I like the bracket that we are in according to this prediction. Getting past Kansas St will not be easy though.

Lunardi's new bracket has us as a 10 seed, playing Kentucky in the first round and duke in Raleigh in the 2nd. Ouch

As I recall, we were a 10 seed last time we danced - lost to 7 seed BYU. I'd rather be a 10 seed than play in the 8 vs 9 game

If we are ranked in the top 25, why should we be anything worse than a 6 seed?

There is no reason why Texas, K-State, Ohio State, Oklahoma State or Baylor should be seeded above us

Based on RPI, we are a 12 seed.

Our non-conference was a pile of hot garbage and we have a few bad losses (100+ RPI).

I'd love to play UK. They are NOT good.

The people who do the seeding are not the same people who do the rankings.

I think playing Kentucky would be a great opportunity. National spotlite against a team with greater reputation than this year's team. Talk about being America's Darling and catching the Media attention of Texas and the Metroplex. Everyone would be talking SMU Basketball

I think 10 is our floor. We only have upside here depending on how we perform in our tournament. Beat the [deleted] out of coog high first...
