@baxstboys The past can't be changed. Everything is still ahead of us as long as we win games we're supposed to like tomorrow's

UGA remains in the field...for now. Big one tomorrow night at the Steg.
JBR Bracketology - Seed List Monday 1/27. -Top 8 remains nearly identical to Friday, other than Florida hopping Tennessee for #5 overall -No new locks added last week, as my (previous) 3 seeds went 0-4 on Saturday -Houston is in position to climb up to the 2 line, but at 2-3 vs Quad 1, they still have more work to do (I suspect they will) -Kansas remained in the exact spot. Computers LOVE Houston, so in retrospect, I shouldn't be surprised Kansas' metrics stayed roughly the same despite the home loss to Houston -Memphis moves up to top of 5 line. Nice blowout win yesterday over UAB to improve the predictive metrics. I also weigh predictive metrics less now that we're into late January, and the Tigers resume continues to impress with a 9-3 record vs Quad 1+2, including five wins vs teams in the at-large field -Michigan has now underperformed in three straight games, going 1-2 with the lone win at home in OT over Northwestern. Wolverines need to bounce back to avoid falling further down the seed list -Texas and Tech and Maryland, two teams with 300+ NCSOS are handling business in league play, and quickly rising the seed list because of it. But make no mistake, committee will hold each team back half a seed line minimum due to the poor NCSOS -West Virginia continues to be a bit of an enigma with their propensity to win big games (Four Quad 1A wins!), but throw up a stinker like they did Saturday in getting blown out by Kansas State. Mountaineers will likely get best possible seed due to their high end wins, but they gotta stop taking these bad/ noncompetitive losses -UCF and Texas take spots in the field from Indiana and Drake, following their big wins over the weekend. Drake fell (since Friday) in both resume and predictive metrics with their OT win @ NET #251 Missouri State, underscoring how important it is for the Bulldogs to continue winning (and winning big) against lower tier MVC teams -Wake Forest reminding me an awful lot of 2024 Virginia: Good NCSOS, good non conference neutral win over 7 seed (2024 UVA beat 7 Florida, Wake beat 7 Michigan), good resume metrics, bad predictive metrics, win a lot of games and finish Top 4 in ACC... Demon Deacons' resume metrics still excellent despite the Duke loss (27 SOR, 37 WAB) -BYU, Dayton and Xavier making big pushes from outside the field into Next Four Out. All three in position to be in position following recent good play (quality wins/ margin) -Bids by Conf: ACC 5, B10 9, B12 8, BE 4, SEC 13, MWC 3, WCC 2 #KeepWinning

RT @SinBinVegas: Hill over Fleury for 1st team goalie is ridiculous. I also would have flipped Marchessault and Karlsson but that one is…
