Bracketologies
Bracketology
For obvious reasons I have not been a bubble-watcher for several years now. But with the season coming down to the wire and USU still in the mix for an NCAA bid, my scoreboard watching juices are again flowing. Below are five tournament prediction sites with their latest predictions (date noted) together with the latest results (if any) since the noted updated prediction.
If we lose to BSU tomorrow we will pretty much fall off the grid thereby upsetting me immensely that I went to this effort for naught.

Re: Bracketologies
Great Job, hopefully we can jump onto more "Last Four In" after beating BSU this weekend and hopefully SDSU before the Nevada game. The Nevada game is going to be crucial. Also, I found a nice article on Utah State and our tournament hopes!utaggies wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2019, 8:53 amBracketology

Re: Bracketologies
I like the idea of facing and beating Alabama in the first four! It would be nice to beat them in something if we can't do it in football! Like we used to just look forward to beating Boise in basketball after being unable to do so another year, and still do to an extent, though we are now more competitive with them in football and in a position of being less and less certain of getting them in basketball. Heck, it's also funny that not long ago, most of our fan base would accept never being able to beat BYU in football and just look forward beating them in basketball, now it's the opposite with us getting the regular football wins over them but being unable to beat them in basketball which I slightly prefer, as much as I would like regular wins over them in both.

Re: Bracketologies
Here's one that has USU as a 9 seed vs Texas. Gonzaga would presumably be the opponent in the next round, so I would imagine this quadrant would be taking place in Salt Lake, since the committee is placing the top 16 teams close to home as they are 'protected'.

Re: Bracketologies
Yikes, that's a tough bracket. I've always felt an 11 seed is more ideal than being an 8 or 9 if you're hoping to reach the Sweet 16.AGGZILLA wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2019, 2:25 pmHere's one that has USU as a 9 seed vs Texas.

Re: Bracketologies
I would rather worry about getting 1 win which you are more likely to get with an 8 or 9. But that said, I don't see how we are getting anything higher than a 12 this year. I still remember in 2011 when some sites were projected us to get a 6 or 7, and others in the 8 to 10 range, only to see us get a 12.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2019, 3:00 pmYikes, that's a tough bracket.

Re: Bracketologies
Yeah honestly I'm always jealous of the teams who get to play the play in game. It feels like an actual tournament game but against an equal opponent instead of a 5-6 seed, national TV exposure, and you have the chance to get some jitters out before the next game if you win. It would suck to lose it but it would suck the same to lose the first game no matter what, play-in or not

Re: Bracketologies
And I would also say that I would, over the long run, remember winning the first four game followed by a loss in the round of 64 more fondly than just getting into the 64 and losing. Like it would be a good win to remember if we won the play-in in the first four in 06 or 10 which is where we would have gone if they had it, even if we still lost to Washington and Texas A&M. And agree that while losing in the first four would suck, it wouldn't have hurt much worse than the Washington and TAMU losses.MetsJetsAggies wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2019, 3:17 pmYeah honestly I'm always jealous of the teams who get to play the play in game.

Re: Bracketologies
If USU were to play Texas in the first round of the NCAA tournament, I'd drop everything and go. My brothers are both Longhorns. We refer to this scenario as a dream/hell tournament match-up.AGGZILLA wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2019, 2:25 pmHere's one that has USU as a 9 seed vs Texas.

Re: Bracketologies
I'd love the play-in game too because it seems in past years the winners of the 12/13 play-in games win a disproportionate amount of time in the next round. I think they have the advantage of having a game under their belt and playing in the arena that their region is in. In my brackets I always pick a winner of the play-in to advance to the second or third round of the tournament.

Re: Bracketologies
I would agree with that, but in this scenario I’d gladly take playing a tougher opponent in the ‘Zags in the third round over lower seeding placement if it meant we could play in Salt Lake.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2019, 3:00 pmYikes, that's a tough bracket.

Re: Bracketologies
Part of me thinks that after not playing well after always getting lucky with the close sites, maybe it would be better for the team to be "forced" to play back east and relax playing loose. Part of the problem may have been the pressure to win to take advantage of the close sites like Boise, Spokane and Tucson, whereas there was little to no pressure to win in Oklahoma City or North Carolina. While a site back east may be harder for ACTUAL Aggie fans to make it to, we are going to be able to get some people behind us cause of wanting an upset or them being a fan of our opponent's rival. Like in Oklahoma City, while it was easy for actual Kansas fans to make it, we also had the Oklahoma and Oklahoma State fans who hate Kansas and wanted them to lose behind us.AGGZILLA wrote: ↑February 23rd, 2019, 10:52 amI would agree with that, but in this scenario I’d gladly take playing a tougher opponent in the ‘Zags in the third round over lower seeding placement if it meant we could play in Salt Lake.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2019, 3:00 pmYikes, that's a tough bracket.

Secondly, this year, I don't think it's a matter of would you rather have an 8/9 in Salt Lake or 11 back east, but if you would rather have an 12 in Salt Lake or 11 back east.

Re: Bracketologies
Jerry Palms latest bracket has us in a play-in game versus Furman(who lost today) as a 12 seed to play Iowa St., a possible rematch with with UC Irvine as a 13 seed, then a possible matchup with Gonzaga or Washington. Interesting bracket. I think we match up well against all those teams.treesap32 wrote:I would love to be one of the last 4 in and get a play in game.

Re: Bracketologies
The thing I hate about counting play in games is counting the 16 seed play in games. How many times have we lost playing a 5 seed and they get to count beating another 16 seed. It does count in their teams tourney statistics though.

Re: Bracketologies
I think if we get a play-in game, the outcome that would cause the least amount of confusion would be to lose. That way, we don't have to try to figure out if the game counts as a win or not, and everyone goes home a winner.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑February 23rd, 2019, 9:14 pmI’ve never counted play-in games because they aren’t a part of the bracket challenges.

Re: Bracketologies
Couple of bubble teams lost this weekend. Seton Hall lost to St Johns which may or may not be crucial since St Johns is just off the bubble, but Minnesota lost to Rutgers which might be a dagger.

Re: Bracketologies
The team and the conference still get NCAA "Credits" for the game, so it's a excellent opportunity money-wise. You can get 2 "credits" by beating a team of your caliber in the first round and then playing in the round of 64. Even if you lose in the round of 64.

Re: Bracketologies
Here is an update of 5 projected brackets. The date of the projection is identified. The results of games played that occured after the date of the projection are also shown. USU is edging its way into the tourney.
A win over Nevada would be a capstone to the season, but wins over SDS and CSU are crucial. Losses in either of those games and it’s “Hello NIT!”

Re: Bracketologies
Here is what ESPN says about us in latest bubble watch - we are still in "work left to do" category:
"Utah State might have seen its at-large life flash before its eyes, but Sam Merrill hit five 3s and scored 32 points as the Aggies won 78-71 in overtime at Boise State. A loss there would have gone in the books as a Quad 3 defeat -- not fatal in and of itself, perhaps, but far from ideal at the end of February for a team trying to play its way into the bracket. Craig Smith's men now have a home game against San Diego State before they welcome Nevada to Logan for a potentially profile-transforming evening of basketball. Despite a Quad 1 win on a neutral floor against Saint Mary's already in the books, USU is commonly being labeled as "first four out" material in mock brackets. (Updated: Feb. 23)"

Re: Bracketologies
I would be ecstatic to be in the dance, but not a fan of that bracket. Surprised to see Arizona State as an 11 seed.Aggiesbleedblue wrote: ↑February 25th, 2019, 10:40 pmIn Joe Lunardi's latest update, he has us as the last team in playing Seton Hall in the first four, with the winner facing Iowa State.
