UC out in the latest bracket projections. Bracketology: Predicting the NCAA Tournament Bracket, Week 8 (msn.com)

Do we want a bracketology thread even though it's early? We were last 4 in from Lunardi before the Dayton loss

It is so early in the season so that would be up to you. My thought is that there will be so many more losses racked up in the Big 12 that it may not even matter. However, things could come together and the team plays up to their potential.

Absolutely not. We need to actually beat a few good teams before any post season conversations start!

[Lobot]

I'll wait a bit . Lunardi has UC as last 4 out as of last night.

New AP Poll drops this afternoon; we will see if UC gets some votes.

In the meantime, Andy Katz has UC 23rd in his weekly Power 36 ranking.

[BearKatz]

If not ranked, or at least receiving votes this week. Id say if UC Beats Texas we're in the Top 25 next Tuesday.

Re: Texas being ranked #25

Jeff Borzello - "Texas being ranked for the last month has been highly questionable. Still being ranked after losing at home to Texas Tech is fairly egregious."
Jeff Goodman - "I'm not even sure Texas has beaten an NIT team this season, never mind one in the mix for an NCAA tourney bid."
