more bracket projections
okay, these projections are getting to be a little much, especially the predicted matchups, as lots of changes will take place between now and selection sunday. but here are some additional views on where the Bruins stand:
Ken Pomeroy has us as one of several at-large teams guaranteed a spot as long as we don't have any real bad losses. Pomeroy is one of many individuals who re-create the RPI rankings used by the NCAA selection committee (the "official" RPI rankings are supposed to be secret). Other RPI sites that have actual tourney projections include Warren Nolan's, Mike Greenfield's, and CollegeRPI.com. They have us as a #10, #11, and #8 respectively.
Then, over at foxsports.com, Michael Lazarus has us a #10, while Mike DeCourcy has us as one of four Pac-10 teams to get in.
So looking at these projections plus those from my earlier post, the consensus overall is that we're nearly a lock to get in, and we're probably a nine or ten seed. but if we continue our solid play, i believe there is certainly room for us to move up.
