In short, we need a bit of help, but can certainly play our way into a 3-seed and beat WSU in the semis. We do that, Zona in the Final would be for hardware, bragging rights and Dance seeding.

Arizona State at 14-14 got 17 votes in the AP poll. Bobby Hurley has so much pull with national writers it's crazy due to his name and that alone.
Washington at 15-13 got 4.
Colorado at 18-9 and above both the teams above in conference standings with nothing.

It's so ridiculous I can't even be mad.

If we can't be Cal at home, good grief.

I've just got this bad feeling that something stupid is going to happen on selection Sunday.
So...the committee replaced RPI with NET as the primary sorting metric prior to the '18-19 season. There have been 3 teams with a NET ranking higher than 40 to miss the tournament since then (discounting the weird COVID season), but they were all in that initial '18-19 season. Since that time, the highest ranks to miss the tournament were 40 (last season's Rutgers team), 42 ('21 Penn State), and 43 (last year's Okie Lite).
What say the people who follow this more closely than I do?
is a top 40 ranking "safe" as the new norm? Or would the committee snub a top 40 team again based upon the 2019 precedent?

It's more complicated than that, but top-40 NET is a good mental baseline.
Yeah. If you're Top 40 NET and a member of a Power 6 conference, you're pretty much in. The few teams that have been left out with that resume were only a few games over .500.
n = 4 for selection Sundays using NET as the primary metric.
I'd say there's about a 20% chance a new record for best NET ranking left out will be set this year, and that by the time we have enough data to make confident proclamations about NET thresholds, NET might be replaced by something else.
I would be surprised if the record was shattered and a team with like #33 NET was left out.
Thanks, captain.
Lunardi still has us the fourth team out behind Utah.
I just cannot understand this guy- is it just because he's a slave to BPI?
For example, FAU is ranked 36th in NET, 35th Ken Pom, has 1 Q1 win and 2 Q4 losses, and he has them as a 9 seed. Compare with CU, who is 32nd NET, 30th KenPom, 1 Q1 win, 0 Q4 losses, and is the last in his first 4 out. Pretty similar resumes- very different seeding.
Then you look at BPI, and BPI has FAU 28th and Colorado 51st. That seems to be the major difference to me.

Florida State beats NC State. That should help a little.

Their NET dropped from 25 to 27 but by ND getting the win this bumped Wake's loss from a quad 3 loss to only a quad 2 loss. And since ND has been playing much better recently this loss might not end up hurting Wake that much in the eyes of the committee.

A couple of key games in the SEC tonight involving teams squarely on the bubble right there with us.
Ole Miss taking on Alabama
Texas A&M taking on South Carolina
Roll Tide!
Go Cocks!

Lunardi also wants to expand the field so he can **** off and die.
One thing to remember in all of this is that there's usually 1-2 bid thieves per year out of the mid-majors and above. We need to be solidly in Dayton to avoid the drop. Our path to the Dance is incredibly narrow and needs a lot of help.
