Good job so far MVC teams! They are talkin about us!!

Thanks for the correction.

Indiana State already has a win at Ball State. With a win against Ole Miss or Nevada at home, the Sycamores will be sitting pretty for conference play.

Ball State (chirp chirp) win probably won't be worth much on a resume. Currently down 36 to the top-ranked Hoosiers in the 2nd half.

UPDATE: Hoosiers win by 48.

Ball State is AWFUL

The preseason #4 pick in the MVC will not be ranked in a national big boy poll. Maybe in the mid-major poll.

It all depends on WSU's record. If they win the next 6 games, they will almost certainly be ranked.

Unless UNI runs the table on the rest of their non-conference, I only see CU, WSU and ISUR having at-large chances at this point.

UNI's entire season rests on the month of December. We can only afford one or two losses, but both cannot be UNLV and WSU.

12/1- vs Milwaukee
12/4- vs Northern Colorado
12/8- @ George Mason
12/15- vs Iowa
12/19- @#18 UNLV
12/22- vs St. Mary's
12/30- @ WSU (who will probably be ranked)

Unfortunately, I think you might have to win 6 of those 7 games AND bracketbusters to have a legit shot. Losing to fellow bubble teams Stanford and Memphis hurts big time.

I don't understand how you could claim UNI's at-large chances are shot when the games that they still have left on their schedule are as good or better than the entirety of many other contenders schedules.

Wichita State comes in at SECOND in receiving votes category in this week's AP poll. Creighton at 11th. These two schools have built up a lot of clout with voters (and it also can only help the rest of the Valley)

They've dug a hole and to get an at large bid that hurts. I think a win at UNLV is mandatory if you want a shot as the rest is pretty meh and won't open any eyes.

You still sure about that?

The rest of your schedule is still strong but the fact that you LOST to two bubble teams already means you need to make up for it with the rest of your games. If you would have beaten Memphis or Stanford, a win @UNLV probably wouldn't be necessary. But, if you can go like 14-4 in league play, then you could probably lose a few of those but I wouldn't count on that.
