Bubble Banter
Welcome to Bubble Banter.
Bubble Baner highlights the teams we believe are on the NCAA Bubble. If a team isn’t listed, they aren’t a bubble team at the time of the update. We acknowledge CollegeRPI for the data. Jerry Palm provides great information for all NCAA Tournament fans. A subscription is very reasonable.
Note: I have cleared the 2009 NCAA Tournament Bubble Banter.
Bubble Banter will return in February 2010 - as teams begin a final push – or fall – from the NCAA field.
Here is a sample of what information you will find again next season:
- Automatic Bids (qualifiers as determined)
- Projected Locks (by conference)
- Teams that Should Be In at the time of the latest update.
- Conference Breakdowns (see sample from 2009 below)
ACC
Locks: North Carolina, Duke, Clemson, Wake Forest, Florida State
Should be in: None
Bubble … Boston College, Maryland
Boston College (22-11 | 10-8) – A one-point loss to Duke Friday night means we can’t put the Eagles as “in.” Especially given developments in the remaining bubble picture. The problem for BC is some really bad losses (Harvard at home) and a weak non-conference SOS (No. 214). Maryland, Temple, and USC all winning doesn’t help. The RPI number is also questionnable. Will home wins over Duke and FSU, and roads win at North Carolina and Maryland be enough to offset the negatives? For the moment, odds are in their favor.
RPI: 61 | SOS: 58 | Schedule: Finished
I am working on improved appearance and information updates for the 2009-2010 NCAA men’s basketball season. I will try to provide updates on this during the offseason and provide a sneak peak when available. Anything in particular you want to see? Send me a Rebound – Dave.
