Sexton may have just punched Bama's ticket. Crazy to think an entire season-long resume may have come down to a single shot as time expired to make the dance.
Bubble teams?

Texas is still playing, I think OU is the proper team that should be booted if thats how the committee approaches oSu playing itself in, but OU still has wins over KU, @Wichita, TCU x2, and TT. Hard to keep a team with that many big wins out.
Oh, ouch, I'm so hurt. The point I'm making is how bad the RPI is. It needs to go.
We were talking about KenPom. Which brings this back up...
Do you not understand the quadrant system? Maybe you need to look at what I wrote. I showed that Nebraska has a better resume using Kenpom than Purdue shows to have under the RPI system. The point I'm making is that the RPI is broke. People saying Nebraska's schedule is bad is basing it on the RPI. In fact, there are 3 teams that IMO should have had more consideration based on Kenpom.
Teams not expected to get in :
Nebraska: Kenpom = 56 / RPI = 56
Penn St: Kenpom = 30 / RPI = 84
Maryland: Kenpom = 45 / RPI = 73
Other teams expected to be in the field:
St Bonaventure: Kenpom = 63 / RPI = 23
Providence: Kenpom = 72 / RPI = 40
Buffalo: Kenpom = 81 / RPI = 32
I'm sure I could have found more but I don't need to for my point.
The RPI made the B10 look down more than it really was IMO. Not the best conference, but nowhere near as down as people perceived. RPI is fairly easily manipulated in your favor based on how you schedule. Kenpom you can't run from because it's actually based on performance.
Nebraska’s schedule was bad based one every data point. And you don’t know how the quadrant system works. You said Nebraska had 14 quad 1 and 2 wins based on Kenpom, thats wrong.
By my count they had 6, with 2 being Quad 1 wins, both @ home. They might make it, but it will be by the skin of their teeth and it won't be some major headline if they don't. They aren't that good.

I get that UT is still playing, but if Mo Bamba isn't then the committee can discredit their wins with him.
True, but Bamba has come out and said he will be playing in the tourney next week if Texas makes it.
Actually you are right, I did count the games wrong, but they had 3 quad 1 wins and 7 quad 2 wins, so overall 10 quad 1 and 2 wins.
QUADRANT 1 (Home 1-30; Neutral 1-50; Away 1-75)
QUADRANT 2 (Home 31-75; Neutral 51-100; Away 76-135)
Yea you know what I'm spending way too much time giving a fvck about the only power 5 team that hasn't won a tournament game
Yeah, they are in, IMO. If not, they are sitting at the top of the bubble and knocking other bubble teams further back.
Yup they've got them around last 4 in or slightly above. Bad news for the bubble teams like you said
