Yes, we are a 2 bid league if ISUb doesn't get the autobid at Arch Madness.

The more these 3 teams separate from the rest of the league, the better shot at an at-large. Feels like Bradley would have to almost win out and lose in the Arch Madness championship to even be in the at-large conversation though.

Bradley probably won’t but if they were able to get to top 50, they would provide another Q1 opportunity for anyone that plays them in Arch Madness.

No. They will do everything in their power to prevent it from happening.

This 100%. I answered “yes” because we SHOULD be if these top 3 keep taking care of business. Be ready for the .500 P6 schools to get in over us. I wish someone would try to start another tournament that rewarded performance instead of market size like the NCAAt did when I was growing up.

2006/2007 seems like a lifetime ago.

Assuming ISUb continues winning like they have been, and drops only games to Drake or Bradley, then yes, I think they get in. It will be a shame if they don't, as they definitely are deserving of a bid.

We absolutely are by every measure except the all important 'conference logo patch on the front of the jersey' metric.

If Indiana State were able to go 18-2 and get to Sunday and lose to a Top 100 team, they might get to go to Dayton.

The SFA loss is an automatic disqualifier for Drake.

I want to be wrong, I really, really want to be wrong but I don't think I'm wrong.

If Drake and/or Indiana State get to 17-3 (or maybe even Bradley considering what they'd have to do to get to 17-3) and lose on sunday in STL, they are both 100% in. I understand the paranoia of assuming the conference is going to get screwed, but no one has hardly ever gotten screwed with a resume that Indiana state would have in that scenario and Drake wouldn't be far behind. Let's all walk back from the ledge a little bit.

The concern for me is Indiana State and/or Drake getting there and avoiding bad losses.

Those teams can only lose to each other UNI and SIU at this point. Any other loss is devastating.
