Official CU Resume & Bubble Watch 2021-22

I think the biggest impact was to the benefit of the stronger mid-major conferences/teams and some of the high-major teams that have mediocre recruiting. Programs that have good college players who aren't NBA talents got seniors back for an extra year & were fielding very veteran teams in the early season.
CU, for example, grew up. We were about a Top 150 team the first couple months. Now I think we're about a Top 35 team. We'd smoke teams like S Illinois & Duquesne if we played them now.

Buffs perfect candidate for first 4. Unquestionable #4 team in “power” conference with low NET. Are they legit or not? Let the play-in game decide.
and with that in mind tonight Go Bruins!

If UCLA wins tourney we will have played 5 games against top 10 teams. 1-4 but none of these mid majors can say that.
online tool that allows you enter a team and it generates a list of which other teams have the most similar tourney resumes. the "Miss" under 'type' indicates that team is projected to miss the tourney (vs "at large" or "auto").
here's CU:

I think the #1 reason that the Buffs are in this position is the PAC 12 Network
How many games did we play on the National Platform at a favorable time?
We lost the Kansas game, which would have been huge as well, but having an inept Network that is not that easy to get on most services has been and is catastrophic. New deal must address this problem.
Go Buffs, just win the whole damn thing

stated differently, the limited distribution of the Pac 12 Network is exacerbating the east coast media bias.
The #1 reason is the schedule we chose to play.
Our most difficult neutral non-conference game was S Illinois.
Our most difficult road non-conference game was... we didn't play one.
And we put Maine on our schedule. We'd have been better off playing a non-counting home game against Colorado Christian instead of a NET-killing home game against a team that's at 353.

The Big 12 is a damn good league. 3-4 of those teams (LOL Texas) might be top 4 seeds on Sunday. The other three we can have a conversation on though.
Let's honest, though. Tad built this schedule knowing the team he was going to roll out in Non-Con would basically be in diapers. Not finding a way to reschedule Kansas is still baffling to me. I'm sure he anticpated playing CSU in the Paradise Jam, Tennessee and KU would be enough of a bump for the their OOC needs. We got 1 of 3. That said, as I posted yesterday we handily beat the majority of the teams ranked NET 40-70 on a neutral court right now. That should be taken into consideration, but likely won't.
Oklahoma being on the bubble is the one that's baffling to me.
Check their record 2 weeks ago and who they beat since.
Xavier is another one.
Well, Auburn needs to wake the hell up and stop shooting 3s already. 15 points with 4+ to go in the 1st half.

Memphis is legitimately good right now. Hot. 2 wins over Houston.
I was resigned to the fact that the Buffs would have to win the PAC12 to advance to the dance weeks ago, and I have no faith in the committee to not screw the Buffs, even when the resume is better.
Just have to win this damn thing.
It sets up well. Just have to beat two teams that already have their spots, and tonight's opponent is going to be none too keen on possibly losing another key player to injury.

St. B's senior PG and 4 year captain misses two FTs with 1.0 on the clock that could've tied or won it. Poor kid, but what an absolute choke job.

And he got his own miss on the second shot and his put back missed too. Truly sucks
****ing Illinois. 
Wilner did a really good explanation on the P12 and the number of bids in response to Tad's comments. Spot on with how the conference may very well end up as a 3-bid league by historical math & it's pretty fair. Basically, it's not just individual team resume but the fact that the conference as a whole won too low a % of its non-con games. And that 1/3 of games have an inordinate impact on the metrics for the entire season.

Hotline mailbag: On the “big bias” with ESPN, the Pac-12’s low bid total, Kriisa’s injury, Fox and Haase remain in place and more
Colorado coach Tad Boyle was “disappointed” in how the Pac-12 is viewed and accused ESPN of bias. Is he right?

That type of thing happens unfortunately. Sucks.
