Bracketology and Selection Sunday Discussion

Going back and comparing Auburn to Miami, I don't think either one should be in as an at-large, unless Auburn makes a run to the SEC title game. Auburn has already lost 14 games and they need to win a lot more to make up for that. Obviously Joe Lunardi feels Miami is the better choice.

The Dispatch had a nice article interviewing Dennis Hopson, who's turning 61(!) this year, on Bruce approaching his scoring record. Hopson plans to attend the IU game to (hopefully) congratulate Bruce in person.

A school like Miami will not be able to participate in top nonconference tournaments along the same lines as a high major program; however, some of the tournaments that aren't as prominent do have mid- and low-major schools playing. Now, that's not necessarily going to change their strength of schedule a lot, but they could pick and choose one that has a little bit stronger mid-majors.

I don't fault Miami for nonconference tournaments as much as the fact that they didn't play any guarantee games. You're a MAC school, you play guarantee games. That's how it is. The MAC is rated the 17th-best conference per KenPom. MAC programs aren't even mid-majors, they're low-majors. You play high majors on the road when you're a low-major. Mid-majors can get away with not playing the big boys on the road, but even they sometimes choose to do it.

Yep. Miami and Akron are respectable this year but after that it falls off a cliff big time.

Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers predicted to land elite 5-star recruit over some of college football’s top programs​

The LSU Tigers may be on the verge of getting some good recruiting news.

Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers may be on the verge of winning a huge recruiting battle.

On3’s Steve Wiltfong, Adam Gorney, Sam Spiegelman, and Chad Simmons all predicted this week that LSU will land 2027 five-star cornerback Joshua Dobson.

“Dobson is one of the best cornerbacks in the class and the development at LSU over the years has stood out so much, along with his relationship with Corey Raymond,” noted Gorney.

Akron played a road game at Purdue this season. They also got in a mid-major nonconference tournament, the Paradise Jam, which used to be a place a lot of high majors played. So clearly they challenged themselves more in nonconference play. If I were Miami, I would be really scared of missing the tournament, because it should just take one loss to Akron in the MAC tourney & they're out.

Can someone with some knowledge on basketball scheduling educate me on their schedule in general?
Its wildly different than football scheduling (obviously). The main problem seems to be that there was a weird part of the year where other programs were playing big "invitationals" Thanksgiving tournaments, Christmas Tournaments, New Years Tournaments.

Is it Miami's fault they weren't invited to those tournaments? XU dropped them. UD dropped them, UC hasn't played them since 2022.

Mayock states he wouldn't draft any safety in the top 10 who isn't a turnover, game-changing machine. Says Caleb is solidly a 1st round pick. A bit sensationalist of a headline.
