Goodman had us as a 12. My reaction was similar (nice to be mentioned... but just a 12?). (But, OK, if someone had to guess today. Particularly an outsider, a 12 is probably a pretty good guess.)

I presume we'll be a 3 or 4 seed after going undefeated.

What'd Princeton draw? An 8 or a 9, to play Green Bay?

I was talking about Volleyball not basketball.

At this too early juncture, the key is LET ME ENJOY REFLECTING ON 2014-2015 AND WATCH MY WHITE SOX WIN THE WORLD SERIES BEFORE SHOVING 2015-2016 DOWN MY THROAT.

But seriously folks, all I really mean to convey is that I just don't understand why bracketology has to be a year-round thing and start up as soon as "One Shining Moment" hits its final measure and fades off into the sunset. Why doesn't the college basketball world want to let the current season breath for awhile before getting right back on the same treadmill all over again. It's a free country, don't get me wrong. I just don't get it anymore

Then again, I don't get bracketology, period, so just ignore me

Valpo opens as 300-1 odds to win the national championship next year. Easy money.

If we use the odds list as a guide, then Valpo begins this very early projection tied for #55 in the 2015-2016 rankings.

Working OK for me at the moment.

It was probably a firewall issue since I was trying to get to it from my work computer.

That's not what I was talking about anyway

Bracketology and predictions is worlds apart from student athletes looking forward to competing again next year.

And here I thought you were sly like a mink.

Probably this was mentioned somewhere. But, I figured I'd file it away for March. Lunardi, pre-season, had us as an 11 seed. Not sure if he does the pre-season seriously (imagining what quality wins people will garner, etc.), or not.

Actually, looks like he had two pre-season brackets. August 5 (pre-Vashil? or who knows what changed) a 13 seed. November 11, an 11 seed. He has the at-large play-ins 12-12 and 11-11 (and neither us).

Never too early to dream, right? But, I can't bear to start a new thread in November.

You won't find too many brackets predicting us to lose the conference tournament (the only way we'd end up with a play-in game like that).

With a split in Oregon our at-large hopes should be very solid and as low as a 7 or 8 seed could be achievable. I am still counting on dropping 2 (maybe even 3) HL games either in or outside the tournament. Of course a new rash of injuries might drop us out of all contention. That is what the fickle finger of fate can do.
