Seminoles Basketball Bracketology UPDATED 2/15/2010

This is part five of my weekly look at our NCAA Tournament resume. Just like last time let me explain a couple things about the chart:

The graph below is broken into three columns: teams we've already beaten, teams we've yet to play, and teams we've lost to.

You'll notice numbers beside each teams name. If a team's name is bold then that means they are projected by ESPN's Joe Lunardi as a tournament team. The number next to their name represents their corresponding tournament seed. If a team is not in bold then they are not projected as a tournament team. The number next to their name is their corresponding RPI ranking as per RealTimeRPI

[Note: I do not include the AP or Coach's Poll Rankings because they are not used by the selection committee making them obsolete in college basketball]

FSU Record: 18-7         ACC Record: 6-5

Current RPI: 45

Projected Seed: 10

Although this week didn’t go exactly as we may have wanted, I think it was probably the expected result. Despite our awful game at Clemson, we really stepped up in the second half in our must-win game against Boston College.

Our upcoming schedule could really go either way. I feel like we are safe to get 2 more wins which would bring us to 8-8 and put us squarely on the bubble. More than likely, we end up at 9-7, but we do have an outside shot of getting to 10-6.

This week: Although both of these games are away, we absolutely must win at least one of them. Virginia has had a better ACC season, but I seem them as the more beatable team. Although UNC has been beaten several times at home this year, they’re still UNC and playing in their stadium will always be difficult. Go Noles!
