Jerry Palm’s most recent March Madness bracketology

Am I missing something or just can’t read this morning but LSU is not included in the field. Also cannot find Duke in there. Is he predicting that neither team will be eligible for the tournament or something? Please help me understand this or show me what I missed. Thanks in advance for the help......

He took LSU out last week.

Not even in first four out? Also what about Duke?

How about a link?

We have one Tier one win. The schedule will take care of itself as we go forward. I don’t see us getting much above a 7/8 seed if we lose 3 more conference games . But then again they may take everyone this year so just getting in will not be the goal.

Lunardi has us in as an 8 seed.

First off I don’t think there’s really any momentum to include more than 68 teams, especially with the tourney being held solely in Indy. They aren’t going to pack 360 teams into downtown Indy.
Secondly I legit think palm made a mistake. LSU is 22 in NET which is a lock for a top 8 seed. We’ll see in his next bracketogy but it would be pretty shocking if we weren’t back in there

Duke will end up having a good year, but so far they have not been very good. Its why Coach K was pushing to cancel the season because of covid.
And LSU isn’t getting the recognition right now because they lost their only two tough Games so far. Once LSU gets a few quad 1 and 2 wins people will start to notice.In college basketball, if you aren’t in the top 25 you’re lucky to even get your score shown at the bottom of the tv screen.

If Jerry Palm actually left us out and didn’t just make a mistake, he’s truly an idiot. LSU is top 25 in NET and top 20 in BPI. We lost on the road to St Louis and on the road to Florida. LSU would 100%, absolutely, no questions asked, be in the tournament right now.

I don’t think it’s a mistake. He did it last week too.

I'd be willing to give credence to that if there weren't some unbelievable stupid inclusions (relative to not including LSU).
Exhibit A: Michigan St. as a 7 seed (NET - 84; SOS - 209; Q1 record: 0-3
Exhibit B: VCU as a 10 seed (NET - 46; SOS - 165; Q1 record: 0-2
Exhibit C: Florida St. as a 6 seed (NET - 59; SOS - 95; Q1 record: 0-1
LSU (NET - 22; SOS - 58; Q1 record: 1-2)
He doesn't even have LSU as one of the "Last 4 out". But he has TCU in that category with a resume of (NET - 82; SOS - 81; Q1 record: 1-2). Arkansas is a 10 seed. They are ranked one spot higher than LSU in NET, have LESS Q1 wins and a FAR worse SOS
Either he just simply forgot to include LSU or there is some degree of person animus, because not having them in AT ALL (or even close) is OBJECTIVELY nonsensical

Jerry Palm hates LSU.

He's scared to be deplatformed for including a school that has 'deeply concerning' sexual assault cover up accusations.

This has been the pattern for pollsters against LSU under Wade despite what most call very smart scheduling by our head coach. For example during our 2018-19 SEC and Sweet 16 run we were taken out of the top 25 after losing twice in the AdvoCare invitational on November 19th and weren’t put back in until after winning 9 of 10 including 8 in a row and beating 3 ranked teams two months later on January 21st. The next season, last year, the same thing happens. We were dropped out after our 2nd loss to 15th ranked Utah State after blowing a 19 point lead in Jersey Mike’s Jamaica Classic on November 11th. We weren’t added back to the top 25 until after winning 12 of 14 including 7 straight to begin SEC play and beating Texas to make it 8 straight in the SEC/Big-12 challenge two months later again on January 27th. I’m not gonna give my opinion as to why this keeps happening I’ll only say that if we were a Memphis, a team the media desperately swoons over every chance they get, we’d be ranked now and would’ve never left the top 25 for more than a week or two over the past 2+ years.

Jerry likes LSU. He wore purple at the National Championship game last year. My wife and I spent an hour with he and his wife the night b4 the NC game. Had a good time. He is very down to earth. New Orleans is his favorite city. He definitely has some strong opinions but he was very complimentary of LSU's program and Coach O.

Duke is 5-3 and has NO good wins. They have a long way to go to get an NCAA bid. As of his latest bracket last Friday our best wins were La Tech and UGA at home. Not exactly world beaters. UGA is ranked #84 and La Tech is #119. Duke is ranked #96 fyi.

LSU is a 7 seed in his latest

Purple is also one of Clemson's colors.
