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

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