For now, but with more wins in a stacked conference, this could change.

Iowa in a way is in the tournament every year. It's a one and done NCAA tournament for them that starts with the Big Ten tournament. Win that and they get the automatic bid, lose and they are likely done unless they can finish in the top five or six in the big ten. So technically speaking Iowa is in the tournament every year and unfortunately they start out in a tough region, the Big Ten region.

He has both Illinois and ISU as bubble teams, yet has them both get in AND playing each other. Take that for what it's worth.

At this point in the season, no one is "in". There isn't a team in the country that has won an automatic birth or received an invitation to go along with their seed. The season is a little over halfway over, there's still plenty of games to win or lose. These polls and opinions might mean something once conference tournaments begin and the field begins to take its shape, but at this point it irrelevent.
LOL does he have any 1 seeds matching up against each other in the 1st round?

Lunardi is a tool and everyone knows his schtik.
Everyone at ESPN is a tool, even Chris Hassle, I used to like the guy until he went to ESPN.

They weren't ranked....but if the rankings were updated Fridays instead of Mondays they would've been. Heck they were almost rank even though they lost to us. Doesn't count though.
Iowa State gets in because they are on pace for what 22 or 23 wins. In a major conference that always gets you in, the Big XII being bad notwithstanding. It's like a bad Big Ten football team getting to play in a high profile bowl game, even though the conference as a whole wasn't any good.
Except the Big 12 is not the Pac of last year, come on now.
Only because Kansas is in there.
And Kansas State and maybe Oklahoma and Okie State. I don't really care, I am just saying the 22 or 23 wins in the Big XII gets Iowa State in. In the Big Ten it gets a high seed.
Or the RPI top 50 teams, of which they currently have 6. OSU is the lowest at 42. Could you give me a comparison from last year of the teams you listed?
