How in the heck?!?!?!?! Why is it that these ESPN "experts" with this bracketology having the San Diego Toreros as a 15 seed? Lets get this straight, they defeat Saint Mary's (currently ranked as a 9 seed in the West Region) in double OT. Then the following night they defeat a projected 7 seed Gonzaga. So how is it that after you defeat two teams that are a 7 & 9 seeds you get a 15 seed? HOW IN THE HELL???
They defeat Kentucky in Rupp Arena, have a top-35 SOS, finished 8-2 over their final 10 games, are an even 8-8 record on Road/Neutral courts. Grant you they are 92nd in RPI, and are 97th overall in SOS. But unlike alot of teams they are 4-6 games agaisnt the top 50 in the RPI.
Comparing the Toreros against the Gaels and Bulldogs
N-C N-C
Team SOS RPI SOS RPI
USD .5277 97 32 159
SMC .5091 38 31 16
GU .5301 30 12 27
Yes, I will grant you there is a big difference in the N-C RPI between SMC & GU but I don't believe that it should give the Toreros that big of a drop.
Your thoughts?
