Bracketology from ESPN
Kent as #9 seed (really a misplaced 10 as he notes):
Quote:Kent State Golden Flashes
The Golden Flashes are a true No. 10 seed this week, but will need some help to hold that position in the short-term. Their next three opponents have an average RPI of 195.6.
"QUALITY WINS"
(vs. RPI 1-25) NONE
(vs. RPI 26-50) NONE
"BAD LOSSES"
(vs. RPI 101-200) NONE
(vs. 200 or below) NONE
WHY SEEDED HERE
MAC leader (10-1).
9-2 road/neutral record.
MAY DROP BECAUSE
InsideRPI No. 63; SOS No. 224.
0-1 vs. RPI Top 50.
Western Michigan is a #11 seed
Quote:Western Michigan Broncos
The seesaw continues for the Broncos, who are back in the bracket after a one-week absence. This is far from the MAC's strongest season, but it should receive two NCAA bids regardless.
"QUALITY WINS"
(vs. RPI 1-25) NONE
(vs. RPI 26-50) N-UAB
"BAD LOSSES"
(vs. RPI 101-200) NONE
(vs. 200 or below) NONE
WHY SEEDED HERE
10-1 MAC record.
"LunaRPI" (road/neutral) No. 40.

SOS No. 263; NonConf SOS No. 282.
13 sub-150 wins.
POLLS:
Coaches' Poll:
WMU gets 18 votes, Kent 1, so no real improvement there.
AP Poll: #36--Western Michigan
As I mentioned elsewhere, I think there may be some extra opportunities for mid-majors this year due to the overall suckage of the Big 10 and Pac-10 and what I hope will be the unwillingness of the selection committee to take an ACC team with a 6-10 conference record.
I hope Kent and Western position themselves to take advantage of that -- at least until Miami comes along and screws it up.
(vs. RPI 26-50) N-UAB
Still kinda funny how they consider a game against Alabama-Birmingham played in Mobile as a "neutral court". :rolleyes:
Those polls should now change. We are now officially the worst team in the conference(and Div 1?).
