Odds the MVC is a one bid league?

[TheAnswerMan]

. As I recall a few years back, Drake was picked for the bottom and rose to the top. Did you give them a chance at an at-large bid in the first week of December in that year? I'll bet not. You were guessing then and you are guessing now.

Oh come on now cupcake, Drake hadn't lost three games in December of that year. Who do you like for at large? I think Indiana State has a chance at an at large. What do you think?

Drake didn't lose their third game until February that year. Damn facts again

Only teams in my realistic estimation with at large chances at this point are WSU, MSU, Drake, and Indiana St. What do you think cupcake man?

I think it's December 6th.

Good observation. Why don't you come back in April and give us your thoughts. After all, until then it's all just conjecture. Then again, by then we'll know all the answers, so there really won't be any need for you to come back at all.

Whoa! In April you will be predicting the at-large bids for 2014-15. I may not get a day off.

Kinda the point of a messageboard.

I thought agreeing with you and Black was the point of a message board. What am I missing?

General cognitive functionality?

Hypothetically speaking, why should a team, Wichita State for example, who falters and fails to win the Arch Madness championship in a lowly one-bid league receive an at-large bid? Losing to a bunch of losers shouldn't be rewarded. In fact, none of their wins against intra-conference "competition" that weak should even be considered by the selection committee. But shocker fans being shocker fans will spend the next couple of months trying to convince everyone that their conference wins are basically meaningless. Hilarious! Insane. But hilarious!

Wins in the MVC ARE meaningless. Losses in the MVC ARE NOT meaningless. For a team looking for an at large, winning in the MVC does little. Losing in the MVC can mean elimination on Selection Sunday.

If it's RPI you want it's RPI you get. Alabama 101, Tennessee 151, Davidson 102.

actually this just shows you are either bad troll or you are not to smart and don't know college basketball. I will assume your not sCUm troll and your just they typical left wing idiot and I will educate you.

Alabama and Tennessee have played cupcake schedules. Their hope is that they can beat enough cupcakes cupcakes and then ride their conference coat tails to improve their RPI enough so at least they are a bubble team. Tennessee will probably be a 50-60 RPI team when it is all said and done. Alabama will likely be somewhere between 55-65 RPI team.

That is all...

I've never seen a person pick and choose which questions to answer and which points to address in a discussion before. It really diminishes the person's argument pretty rapidly though.

What are the Valley's at-large teams right now? Ignored.

Where did you pull those RPI's from? Ignored.

How come you mentioned Davidson but not BYU or SLU? Ignored.

This poster has a severe ax to grind. It's too bad they can't defend an argument worth a flip.

I got mine from ESPN. Click on Rankings and then RPI Rankings. Enjoy. If you don't like my ESPN RPI numbers, where are yours? You have to earn trust. Guesses don't get it done. And it was shocktheheart who chose Davidson, Alabama, and Tennessee. I was responding to the three teams they mentioned. You'll have to ask them why they ignored BYU and St Louis. Maybe they were trying to cupcake them out of ignorance. That's how cupcaking works. All I know is that Drake, Northern Iowa and Missouri State are ahead of Alabama, Tennessee and Davidson. Ouch! But shocktheheart treated St. Louis and BYU like they did those 3 Valley teams. IGNORED THEM! Cupcaked them. You two need to work out your differences before you turn on me.
