Teams to root for in 2018 (to help Texas' SOS/RPI)

yep, FSU made one of two FTs with 8+ seconds to go by three and Louisville missed a three and put in the rebound at the buzzer. FSU by one!
 
I’ve never really been sold on Louisville. It seems to me that Asia Durr always has to score 30 in order for them to beat really good teams. I think that Mississippi State is the best team in the country especially with McCowan’s improvement.

Great win for Florida State. And, it helps our SOS, too!

Georgia won at home against Auburn. Good for us, as well.

With Tennessee losing to the #3 team, doesn't affect them or us too much. But, it could help us pass them in rankings down the road even though they have the head to head over us.

Looks like UConn and Miss. State are in great position to be the top two overall seeds come tourney time; all we can do is win our games and try to move up little by little.
 
Ohio State at Maryland on ESPN2 right now. OSU trails 50-35 at the half. Good for us if OSU loses to keep them behind us in the rankings.
 
Saw where Georgia beat #11 Mizzou a few days ago. Today, they beat Florida. Looks like UGa is really helping us.

LSU upset Tennessee today; kind of a wash for us, but more benefit as it can only increase LSU's RPI without hurting Tennessee too much.

FSU got drubbed by Notre Dame at home today. Definitely doesn't help us.
 
Cheering for UConn tonight at South Carolina; need to stay ahead of USC in rankings/RPI.

UConn up 24-16 with 1:00 min left in 1st qtr.
 
Tennessee playing Aggy tonight. I assume we want Tenn to win for a myriad of reasons and...well... because it’s Aggy

Tennessee up 4 at the half

Either outcome benefits us. If Tennessee loses a few more, we can move ahead of them in the seedings/rankings.
 
I laughed when the TV announcers said this could be UConn's toughest road matchup based on the crowd. Guess they didn't realize that USC has only one player who is elite.
 
UConn
Miss. State
Louisville
Notre Dame
Oregon
Baylor
South Carolina
Florida State
Texas
UCLA
Tennessee
Georgia
Maryland
Mizzou
Michigan
Texas A&M

But, with us at #9, Tennessee at #11, and A&M at #16 in today's reveal, a win by Tennessee tonight (coupled with their head-to-head win over us) could boost their RPI higher than ours.
 
The seedings based on tonight's reveal would be:

1. UConn
8. Florida State
9. Texas
16. Texas A&M

2. Miss. State
7. South Carolina
10. UCLA
15. Michigan

3. Louisville
6. Baylor
11. Tennessee
14. Mizzou

4. Notre Dame
5. Oregon
12. Georgia
13. Maryland
 
Good night for us overall with USC and FSU losing. Tennessee winning is still good for us overall.

Right now, it will be very tough for us to pass the top 5 teams, even if were to win out. So, I am hoping we are either 6,7, or 10 when the actual bracket comes out. Have to stay away from the 8/9 seeds to avoid UConn's region.
