Who to root against this week (will update daily)

[Dr. Starcs]

I wanted to keep an updated list this week of teams seeded around us so we can have an idea of where we may end up. 

I took the teams seeded 5-9 right now on bracketmatrix. Ohio St is already done with their conference tournament as they were beaten by Penn St in the quarterfinals. These are teams that we may could potentially catch if we make a run in St Louis this week or teams that could potentially catch us.

5 - *Clemson - WIN vs Boston College
                     LOSS vs Virginia
*Gonzaga - WIN vs Byu for conference title
*Ohio St - LOSS to Penn St
Kentucky - WIN vs Georgia
                 WIN vs Alabama
                 Sun vs Tbd

6 - *Florida - LOSS vs ARKANSAS
Houston - WIN vs Ucf
               WIN vs Wichita St
               Sun vs Cincinnati
*Tcu - LOSS vs Kansas St
*Miami, FL - LOSS vs North Carolina

7 - *A&M - LOSS vs Alabama
*ARKANSAS - WIN vs South Carolina
                   WIN vs Florida 
                   LOSS vs Tennessee
*Nevada - WIN vs Unlv
              LOSS vs San Diego St
*Seton Hall - LOSS vs Butler

8 - *Rhode Island - WIN vs Vcu
                           WIN vs St Joseph's
                           LOSS vs Davidson
*Virginia Tech - LOSS vs Notre Dame
*Creighton - LOSS vs Providence
*Missouri - LOSS vs Georgia

9 - *Oklahoma - LOSS vs Okla St
*Florida St - LOSS vs Louisville
*NC St - LOSS vs Boston College
*Butler - WIN vs Seton Hall
            LOSS vs Villanova


I'll keep this updated throughout the week

[Dr. Starcs]

Gonzaga wins big over San Fran. Advances to WCC title game tomorrow night.

[Dr. Starcs]

We can probably not catch the Zags, but they play Byu for the WCC title tonight.

It's the only game that may potentially effect our seed tonight.

[Dr. Starcs]

Gonzaga wins big over Byu for wcc title. I think they're out of the question for us to catch them.

Some games coming up tomorrow that could effect us -

Virginia Tech vs Notre Dame
Oklahoma vs Okla St
Florida St vs Louisville
NC St vs Boston College

[Dr. Starcs]

Nc St and Florida St both lose today, which is two less teams that I think can catch us.

[Dr. Starcs]

Oklahoma loses big to Okie St.
Another team that can't catch us imo.

[rljjr]

Oklahoma loses big to Okie St.

Another team that can't catch us imo.

OU should be replaced in the tourney by OSU.

[Dr. Starcs]

Virginia Tech blows a 21 point lead and loses to Notre Dame.
Hokies shouldn't catch us either.

[Dr. Starcs]

10 games Thursday that can effect us, including our own -

Clemson vs Boston College

Just because I am not sure, are we cheering for each of the teams listed first to LOSE (other than the Hogs, that is)
Love this thread.
This is exactly what I'm looking for.
Good work...Thanks

[99toLife]

I agree

That's correct.  The teams on the left are either close ahead of us or close behind us. 

[Corkscrew Johnson]

This is a great list.  My assessment, based on the teams in front of us:

I think we are squarely locked in a 7 seed. 
*Lose or win 1 game - 7 seed
*Win 2 or 3 games - 6 seed
*Win SEC Tourney - 4 or 5 seed

My only uncertainty is if we beat Florida, and then beat Tennessee, do we climb to a 5 seed?  Might need a little luck.

[Chicago Style Hog]

That's correct.  The teams on the left are either close ahead of us or close behind us.

Thanks!!

[rljjr]

TCU and K-St in the last half minute of overtime tied at 64.

[rljjr]

TCU loses!

[Applebottomjeans]

So I need to root for A&M to beat Bama?  Edit: I got it now. Go Aggies

[rljjr]

Bama won. Pretty sure that's good for us. Knocks The Aggies down.

[jst01]

A&M went with the Arkansas defense to end that game.

[hoglady]

So I need to root for A&M to beat Bama?  Edit: I got it now. Go Aggies

No you've got it backwards - root for the team on the LEFT to LOSE.
A Bama win was great for us.

[Dr. Starcs]

You're welcome everybody. I've updated the list at the top. The teams on the left are all seeded around us, so we want them to lose (and most of them are obliging to this point). WPS

I think a win tonight for us, we should pass the Aggies and probably Tcu.

[Dr. Starcs]

Clemson beat Boston college to advance to semis of the acc.

[Dr. Starcs]

Nevada beats Unlv in a tough matchup.

[rljjr]

Thanks Doc, this is a great thread.

[Dr. Starcs]

Providence knocks off Creighton, which should help us.

[Dr. Starcs]

Georgia trying to give Mizzery the game

[Dr. Starcs]

Down goes Mizzery

[revolution]

Georgia done did!

[Lady Razorback]

Great analysis, Doc.  Thank you for your hard work! 

[Dr. Starcs]

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I'll keep tracking it as timely as I can.

3 impact games coming up tonight.

Of course the most important, HOGS vs Usce
Miami vs Unc
Butler vs Seton Hall

[Dr. Starcs]

Miami loses to NC. Another loss that will help if we can survive tonight.

[Dr. Starcs]

Seton Hall loses to Butler.

Let's go Hogs

[Dr. Starcs]

[panhandlepig]

Yes.  WPS.  Again, thank you for this thread.  I know  I want Florida to lose tomorrow. If it weren't for you I'd be clueless after that. Go Hog.
