It is shaping up like a 4 bid league. Temple's SOS really helps them.

I think it looks more like 3 right now, but 4 is still on the table. Last night did not help.

4 is likely. Temple has a top 20 SOS so if they get to even 19 wins, they're in easily, likely not even going to Dayton.

Agreed. It not a lock for 4 bids, but I would bet 4 bids over 3 bids right now.

No way an AAC team not named UConn ever gets in with 19 wins. No. Way.

But Temple does have a great non-con SOS. If they pick up the next 2, they will really be in pretty good shape.

It's a great day to be a projected #1 seed at this point with a loss on our record and no really tremendous wins.

I thought adding Wichita was supposed to help with our seeding...

Well we don't exactly have the opportunity to help with seeding until conference play starts.

You misunderstood ... it was to help WSU's seeding.

Temple has the perfect storm though... #16 OOC SOS, #21 overall SOS, avoids playing USF and ECU 2x(and heck even projected 10th place Memphis). Their projected RPI at 19-11 is 30. Teams like that get in pretty much 100% of the time.

I’m guessing the committee is going to place all of their emphasis on Quadrant 1 wins. Temple currently has 2 wins, with 1 of those wins on the edge of dropping to Q2. Luckily the AAC provides ample opportunity for Temple to pick up some Q1 wins.

while South Carolina is in danger of falling to Q2, Auburn has a real shot to move up to Q1.

Temple has right now looking 6 chances at Q1 wins in conference play. Maybe more dependng on how the season goes.

I was actually counting Auburn as the Q1 and South Carolina as a Q2, probably should have clarified I was looking at RPIforecast. They could definitely end up with anywhere from 0-3 Q1 wins in the non-con. Going to be a lot of scoreboard watching for Temple if they don’t take control of their own destiny in conference play.

Lunardi also has Houston in his first 4 out, so 5 bids in the realm of possibility. AAC teams need to finish the non-con strong.

UCONN has several opportunities for OOC wins yet. Pull one out.

looks about right and lines up nicely for UC to bow out of the second round, like usual

Actually it was to help with ECU's financial mismanagement.
