Louisville is in the ACC.
The only thing that is certain is that UD and any A10 brethren that make the tourney will be underseeded and likely match against other mid-major underseeded teams.

The rpi cutoff for p5 schools, and maybe, just maybe throw the BE in there too, is probably #69 or so, not everybody #69 or better will get in, but you at least have a shot. The close-to-sure-thing cutoff for p5 schools is probably #50 or so.
If you are non-p5/non-BE, then the cutoff is probably mid to upper 30's, maybe low 40's, any worse than that and you are not getting a bid. And if you are near the cutoff and you are non-p5/non-BE, then you need to have a pretty good sos in order to get in.
This is the way it has always been done, and it is not going to change.

Actually, last year, every single p5 or BE team that was #58 or better got a bid. So, the p5/maybe BE sure-thing cutoff is closer to #60.
And #29 Colorado State, who had a weak sos, and #34 Temple, that had a bad top 50/100 record, were both left out of the tournament.
And 6 other non-p5/non-BE teams that were ranked better than #58 were also left out.
#45 Old Dominion left out
#46 Tulsa left out
#49 Iona left out
#54 Green Bay left out
#56 Louisiana Tech left out
#57 Richmond left out

The only top 61 p5/be team left out last year was #59 Stanford.
#61 Indiana was the worst at large rpi team in the field.

#67 USC was the worst at-large RPI team to make. There are several others worse than #61 as well.

USC finished at #208 last year, I was only talking about last year...#61 Indiana was the worst at large team in the field last year, anybody in the field that a rpi worse than IU last year got an auto bid.

As of Jan. 24th, NCAA "Dance Card" has us as 100% in, ranked 14th or a 4 seed. They also have our rpi at 8. Rare air for UD!

Dance Card uses the old RPI weighting. We've played twice as many home games versus true road games, which is the reason our RPI is better on Dance Card than the NCAA's real RPI site, aka UDPride RPI.

RECENT Bracket Matrix:

Will be tough moving up slots one by one, especially given teams like Arizona or Texas could get good and jump ahead of us.
This is fun so long as we win

Never happen, Providence won't get to the second round in that scenario, since Denver is practically a home game for Chattanooga.

I'm still holding out hope for a 2 or 3 seed, don't laugh, it could happen.
This team is on pace to win the most games in school history.
Just seems like a 1 seed is out of the picture after the LaSalle loss.

Let's not go down the, What seed would we get if we ran the table?, road again. Last time we did that, we lost to LaSalle.

Yes, because us talking about it has sooo much affect on the game. Sorry, this is just a huge pet peeve of mine. Fans can look ahead and talk about things, it is the coaches and players that need to stay focused on the here and now. We have no affect on the games other than showing up and being loud.

Yeah, I would agree that a 3 seed is probably our ceiling. Although, if we did run the table we would probably have a top-5 RPI. Though most could agree that we would be pretty surprised were that to happen.
A 5 would be fantastic. The possible 12 seeds I am seeing on Bracket Matrix are not striking fear in my heart (Valpo, Monmouth, San Diego St., UALR).

That's why these projections are such a joke. We are a 5 seed, 17th-20th best team, but yet aren't in the top 25.
Personally, I am a bit concerned about finishing in the top 3 of the A-10. VCU is playing great and has a much easier schedule left. St Joes has a very easy schedule left and we play them there where we never play well.
This team has to finish with no more than 3 more loses or things could get dicey if they don't play well in the A10 tourney and if the Bonnies or GW finish very strong.
With the schedule left, even playing well, it is very conceivable they could lose 4 more games (@RI, @Rich, @St Joes, and VCU).
Obviously this team has the talent to win the remaining 9. I personally could care less how other teams are doing at this point as we shouldn't need certain teams to do anything for us. Just take care of business and they will be in and could be anywhere from a 5 to a 9. Don't win any of the big 4 games and it will get interesting.

According to rpiforecast, as of Sunday morning, If UD were to lose those 4 games (and those 4 games only) they'd still head to Brooklyn with a top 20 rpi.

To prove I really don't worry about what posting about what ifs because it has no effect on the results, above is what I said before the first LaSalle game. I am dropping the possible 3 to 4 being the best seed possible. That is 13-16 on the S curve. I just can't see us getting to the top 12 without more top 25/50 games. We have VCU and Joes in regular season and at best both again in Brooklyn.

Since many polls have us as a 5 seed, I was reminded of an article on the 5 vs 12 seed discussion. So, let's go get a 3 or 4 seed. Or, I guess, even a 6 seed...

It could go either way, though...at least this way they'll know their first-round opponent so they'll be able to properly prepare!

IMO, the #5 seed is more frequently the parking spot for P5 teams seeded unfairly high because of the name on their jersey. There's something uncomfortable about putting a UD or other non-P5 school at 5 or higher while it's acceptable ("eye test") to put them at 6. So they get what they deserve. Meanwhile, the 6 seed battles it out against a stronger opponent than they should have to play in the first round.

If you had told me at the start of the season we would be on the same seed line as Baylor Louisville and Kentucky I would be pretty happy with that. Crazy to think that if we take care of business, we could end up higher than any of those teams.

Not me. I want us to snag one of those seeds where you seem to get "should beat" teams through to the Elite Eight. We need a good seed and a little luck to get a favorable path.

Hey, did you hear that Duke offered Coach K, Luke Kennard and a 2019 All-American to UD for Archie Miller, Kendall Pollard and a whole Milanos cheese-steak?!

Dance Card was updated, quite a few changes since I last looked at it...4 A10, UD, SJU, GW, VCU...AAC 2 UC and UConn...BE 4...Monmouth and Wichita State are both in...UD down to #16, 4 seed, think we were #12 earlier.

It's way too early to worry about seeding. We got a month of b-ball that's going to shape where we land. With tough games against St Bonnie, St Joe, VCU and at Richmond. We could land any from 4 to a 10 to a 12. The good news is we have a coach who knows how to win in the tournament. I think match-ups and coaching in the tourney are the biggest factor. I'll take AM's coaching ability any day over a Crean, Cooley, Prohm, Enfield, Huggins, Turgeon, McCaffery It's the ability that AM that will take us far not a 4 seed vs 7 or a 3 vs 6. That said, the only seed i don't want to be is 8 or 9.

Would also take the close out abilities of Smith, Kyle, Pierre, Kendall, and Cooke, plus a sprinkle of Steve, over most other clubs. Their combined last 5 minutes of defense and clutch scoring has carried us. Plus an intense desire to win.

It appears that one more spot will be open this year. Apparently Louisville announced a self-imposed ban. Not sure if it starts this year.

So I enjoy the reads and reasoning on the washington post bracket, shows some thought behind their bracket, for better or worse, then I see in their "next four out" Stanford listed as one of the teams and I question everything about them now. Standford has done little to show they belong in the dance this season, except lose a lot of games to good teams.
Then again, that worked for UCLA last season, so perhaps they're just trending.

Providence a 5 and W St at 7 baffle me.
Blind resume and UD should be a 2 or 3 or 4 -- don't think UD is a top 10 team, but the Flyers' resume if season ended today would be a low 2 seed, a 3 seed, or high 4 seed. Of course without the blind resume, Flyers pushed down to a 4 or 5.

A lock and a 5-seed.
Playing winner of Clemson/LSU play-in game, that game would be in Chicago.
Advance and play the winner of Akron and Utah.

He has 70 teams, either above the cut line, or highlighted below. I assume that comes from having both LSU & Temple as their conference winners (to this point) both having conference members above the cut line. Sine there is traditionally 2-4 bid stealers a season (last season there were none) somewhere around 42 on his listing. Still good enough to get 4 A10 bids, w/ Bona's falling w/n striking distance.

With just another close loss, i'm thinking a 5 or 4 seed, likely a 4 Seed.
Again, way too early to tell. Have to keep grinding it at the end of the Season as teams will be gunning for us.
Highest odds to lose:
St Joe's
Richmond
VCU at home
Lowest: Bonnies at home, Fordham, SLU anywhere

70 teams because he is including SMU / Louisville in the Dance Card, but they are not eligible for the postseason this year.

Updated Bubble Watch is out:
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bubblewatch
Dayton [19-3 (9-1), RPI: 12, SOS: 53] If the Flyers' 98-64 win at George Mason was an indication of how they plan to finish the 2015-16 A-10 regular season, they will have zero problems with this whole NCAA tournament thing, and their computer numbers (top-15 RPI, top-5 nonconference SOS) remain great. So why aren't they a lock? Save Iowa, which is a beast, the rest of their wins aren't quite lock-level, and, more than anything, playing in the A-10 means that five of the Flyers' last eight games come against sub-100 teams. The schedule is just frightening enough to hold off on. But a lock is coming soon enough.

I have thought all along that regardless of seed, the committee won't have UD within a thousand miles of Ohio.

If we are a 3 seed or better they claim they do their best for 1/2/3 seeds to send them to pods close to their homes. That would mean St. Louis. Maybe a 4 seed gets us Iowa or OK or Brooklyn.
Definitely want to be in the top 4 seeds - a 5 seed or higher gets us no geographical consideration and as many fear maybe some payback or a make up call from last year.

All top 4 seeds are suppose to be protected (ie have sites close to home when possible) The biggest problem, is that Oregon looks to be the only sure fire top 4 seed (at the moment, including last night's loss @ Cal) in the conversation, with Southern Cal, Arizona and Utah close to the 4 seed line. Since you have to take teams in 4 team pods to keep teams at the same site for the round of 32, that means, unless Oregon climbs to a #1 seed, no 1, 16, 8 or 9 seed will be placed in Spokane.
If Oregon remains in the 2-3 seed range, that means their pod of either 2-15, 7-10 or 3-14, 6-11 will be one of the groupings out there. If either USC gets a 4 seed (or better) they're pod would be the other one in Spokane. One other factor is that 1st/2nd round games are being played in Denver as well, which is much closer to Utah and arizona than Spokane, if either of them get a 4 seed or better.
So as it relates to UD, if they win out, I think they'd end up in a 2 seed, and Spokane is out the window. If they win out w/ the exception of 1 loss (lets say @ SJU) I think they'd end up a 3 seed, and spokane is out the window. 2 more losses along the way, probably keeps them a 4 seed, if they are the last 4 seed, there is a good chance they head to spokane, unless USC is a 4 seed as well. If they're a 5 seed, they are at the mercy of whomever is opposite them on the 4 seed line.
Make sense? Hope so, way too much time to go and way to much fluctuation in possible seeds remaining to really worry about it. The NCAA would probably like to see Oregon win the P12 and at least take one of those 4 team groupings with them to Spokane, its a good amount of travel for just about every other school in the at large conversation (save Gonzaga who can't play there)

Didn't we win a couple of games in Spokane, or near there, back when Detlef Schrempf played?

Pretty certain that was Utah.
To clarify: We played LSU 1st round and Oklahoma 2nd round in Salt Lake City, Utah. I didn't mean we played Utah.
Defeated Washington and Lost to Georgetown in Los Angeles.

Current #61/projected #73 Temple getting an at large bid is surprising to me.
GW and Monmouth also surprising.
