Guys, our basketball team may be for real, and we may have a shot to be a bubble team this year.

Just for everyone's convenience, I decided to make an Excel spreadsheet that contains our record, RPI, SOS, best wins and other things. Basically the team's resume for an NCAAT bid. I plan to update this list and bump this thread once or twice a week throughout the season.



Let me know if you think I should include anything else in the sheet!

Latest ESPN Bracketology didn't have us on the bubble yet, but I have to think we're close especially if we can beat Alabama and Georgia at home this week.

Pretty cool that we're undefeated on the road (excluding neutral sites).

How's about showing a few upcoming games on the schedule with schedule, RPI, etc?

If LSU plays like they did last night, they will be 13-5 or 12-6 in the SEC and you won't have to worry about the bubble; they will be comfortably in the dance.

I would add ESPN's BPI on there. Great job though.

How we rank on January 11 is not all that relevant, imo. Let's see how we rank on February 20 and beyond. Winning two SEC games on the road is VERY strong for this team. Now lets win two straight at home to establish this team as a real contender for an NCAA berth.

Great work!

I'd break down SOS a bit further and show non-conf SOS ranking along with overall SOS. How much you challenge yourself outside of conf. play is a factor.

We missed a good chance to get another good rpi win against bama. But I believe we play them on the road too, could be wrong though. Anyway we are about to go on a pretty strong stretch of good rpi teams

Yep, and the committee stated that non-home games are more important than ever, so let's keep winning on the road.
