Seminoles Basketball Bracketology Week Six 2/22/2010

This is part six 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: 19-7          ACC Record: 7-5

RPI: 40                             SOS: 56

Projected Seed: 8

Well, not much happened this week. We got one big away win and we finally played like a tournament bound team, but we still aren’t in the clear. I was hoping that with four games left we’d be close to a shoe in but that’s not that case. We’re definitely on the good side of the bubble, but as the pundits say, we still have work left to do.

For our resume, we lack many marquee wins, so the Clemson and Wake games can help that greatly. Luckily, we only have one bad loss (home against NC State, ugh…) which is a good thing for the selection committee to see.

Once again, the prediction stands at 9-7. 9-7 for us will be a lock for the tournament- I’m sticking by that. First things first let’s go into Chapel Hill and bring a win back to Tallahassee. Go Noles!
