catching seeing signs tech virginia
You're already seeing signs that Virginia Tech is catching Texas.
cal catch catching faint hope southern tech virginia
It's a paper-thin margin. It's irrelevant, because Virginia Tech is not going to catch Southern Cal and they have a faint hope of catching Texas. Virginia Tech isn't going to catch Southern Cal before they (the Trojans) catch Texas.
behind georgia release surprised tech texas virginia
Don't be surprised if Virginia Tech is not only behind Texas but Georgia as well when the first release comes out.
sugar tech virginia
If Virginia Tech is the only one-loss team, then they make the Sugar Bowl. Otherwise, they don't.
computer current ends gap human last number polls scenario six tech texas third three virginia year
If Virginia Tech ends up number one in all six computer polls, like Texas is now, and the Longhorns are number three in the computer polls, that would make up the current gap in the human polls. That's the best-case scenario for Virginia Tech. It's not like last year when Auburn was third in the human polls and third in the computer polls.
ahead computers hope margin margins poll spots tech texas virginia
The poll margin is enormous. Virginia Tech would have to be two spots ahead of Texas in the computers to get close. They need to hope those poll margins erode.
kindness remains seen skeptical start teams
I'm kind of skeptical of that. They may not have the restriction, but it remains to be seen how many under-.500 teams start to show up in the tournament.
battle closer number three
The battle for number three is a lot closer than the battle for number two right now.
chance hard harder higher memphis might move moving pass past unless
They won't get much higher unless Memphis loses. It's hard to move up when you're already high. I don't see them moving past Duke, Connecticut or Villanova. They might have a chance to pass Memphis. It's harder to move at the end of the season.
decent few help next opponent playing surprise texas week
The thing is, Texas is playing a decent opponent this week (No. 24 Colorado), and that will probably help Texas, at least this week. It would not surprise me if Texas fluctuates over the next few weeks.
against anybody arizona bracket league might prospects seed tournament worth
Arizona in my bracket is a 10 seed because they haven't done anything against anybody who's worth a darn. Arizona might be a 16 RPI, but their tournament prospects aren't too good. Fortunately for them, their league stinks.
games quite worked
It worked out pretty well. We're going to get one of the most anticipated games in quite a while.
ahead either help higher however ninth polls teams
They are going to need to get higher in the polls than ninth or 10th, however that happens. Either teams ahead of them need to lose, or the pollsters would need to help them out.
arkansas bad beaten dominion except good teams western
Vanderbilt's got two Top-25 RPI wins, over Old Dominion and Western Kentucky. That's more than a lot of teams. But Arkansas is a bad loss. All the teams that have beaten Vanderbilt are pretty good except Arkansas.
