this is why the nebraska game was so big. play a road game, the computers reward you. win a road game and you're golden. it doesn't matter how good nebraska may or may not be, as long as they don't crash and dive in big 10 play that was a game that will put us over the top if we find ourselves on the bubble.

we were only five games over .500 in '08 (18-13) but got a #8 seed (or was it #9? eh, who cares) because of road wins at kansas state and arizona. the committee eats that stuff up.

True but the Pac-12 sucks so bad this year..

agreed, but we'll still get at least three in. i guess the goal should be to try to finish in the top 1/4 of the pac.

win @ byu and we'll set ourselves up nicely as long as we're over .500 in the pac-12, no matter how bad the conference is.

UTEP may be one of the worst teams we play all year, and we play some bad ones.

Hopefully we can pull off the win @BYU. Those guys don't look super impressive this year, so I certainly think we have a chance.

Had me going on who #6 is/was with the RPI bit.

we are forecasted to end up around 60.

we have an 8% chance of ending up in the top 25.
we have about an 11% chance of ending up worse than 98.
