Bub Watch

[Stanzi]

If Iowa is on the bubble then by that measure all but maybe ten teams should be on this giant, mythical bubble.

I think they just use the dart board approach.

They have Texas on the bubble, and ISU as a lock.

Then Eamon turns around and has Iowa as the highest B1G team in his power rankings. I don't think his left hand is telling his right hand what he is typing.

They must have changed it ... again this week. Now we are listed as "teams that should be in." Does show the dated 30 RPI ... but also says, "Iowa should have no problem getting in the tournament."

And, the intro the article says, "1. Teams like Iowa don't have to worry quite so much about so-so non conference schedules, because they aren't spending half their time in league play racking up sub-150 wins against the bottom-feeders of their league."

So, while they may be rehashing last year's argument (which may not have even been correct last year -- a number of conference losses could have got us in, if we had closed games out) ... still doesn't seem like the blatant disrespect that was portrayed here (unless they changed it).

I did find it funny that they are only giving the big ten 3 locks, and they aren't the top three teams (even though they are 3 teams that beat us).

No bub, bub.

His right hand was typing. No telling what his left hand was doing....
