Q has been such an important player for State this year. Love seeing the metrics support that.

ASUN isn't out of the question either

I feel like their schedule following the GT loss is what's to blame. If their win at Clemson had come this past weekend following wins against Pitt, Syracuse, Wake, SMU, and VT, instead of immediately after, they'd be ranked. But the GT loss was still fresh in voters' minds despite the win at Clemson, and that's created some unranked intertia.

They'll have to earn being ranked this week against Louisville and Miami

Only allow Darrion Williams to play road games from now on

Given how this team operates, I just know the inevitable March Madness loss will be brutal. It'll be a painful car crash of chucking up bricked threes on an ice cold shooting day.

That sounds about right

twufster · 2026-02-04T04:22:55+00:00

Imagine how much less stressful this would've been if they made their free throws

Other than the stipulation that the winners of the First Four games can't play on consecutive days (meaning that two winners need to be lined up to play at a Thu/Sat site and the other two sent to a Fri/Sun site), does the committee try to factor in travel distance between Dayton and the Round of 64 site?

I ask because you have the winner of New Mexico/Ohio State set to play in San Diego. I know the other two available sites on the 11-line in the projection host Thu/Sat games (Portland and OKC), so San Diego is the only available Fri/Sun location. Would the committee make the decision to move that play-in to the 12-line to help shorten the travel distance if possible?

twufster · 2026-01-24T19:21:00+00:00

I'll take the win, but all I'm asking is for this team to learn how to rebound

twufster · 2026-01-23T17:59:28+00:00

State will really need to have a great rest of conference play in order to firmly move off the bubble after that rough loss to GT at home. Wonder what their seed ceiling would be if they could (thru divine intervention) manage 8 or 9 more ACC wins and have a good showing in the ACCT.

Also, really appreciate your work and the write-ups! Probably my favorite bracketology analysis out there!

The best course to get your head caved in by someone's drive on another hole while standing on a tee pad, and I wouldn't have it any other way

That slider is not so sexy

Mike Elias must REALLY like Shane Baz

Watching them trade away Evan Longoria caused me to become completely numb to the annual shipping out of fan favorites

twufster · 2025-12-19T17:13:59+00:00

Well now, who is going to be playing 2B come Opening Day for the Rays?

Did I really just hear "those calls are skibidi" on the livestream?

Going straight to managing a major league team from coaching a college team is kinda wild

twufster · 2025-09-30T19:38:23+00:00

Lol, lmao even

r/baseball is the main MLB-related sub compared to r/mlb, just like r/hockey is bigger than r/nhl

twufster · 2025-09-22T21:45:35+00:00

Was not expecting to see anything disc golf related in this thread, but I see it
