The graphic on their halftime show right now says:

“M-OH: will earn at large bid, currently Last Four In.”

No ESPN, Lunardi’s bracket is not a definitive ranking that allows you to say that with certainty right now. They’re most likely right, but that graphic is so irresponsible when thinking about the less educated viewers that are watching.

He said that if Auburn wins today that they're back in the field due to strength of schedule; it wasn't opinion, he stated it as fact. There is literally no way he can know that, and ESPN continues acting like Lunardi's Last Four In/First Four Out are the actual order of bubble teams.

Previous Message

“Auburn is in with a win today” is a factually untrue statement that is completely irresponsible, and there would be a lot of Auburn fans who assume that it’s true if watching the game.

Previous Message

Do you think they're going to take the time to 1) give a nuanced take, or 2) acknowledge non-ESPN voices?

Just be glad they're not firing Lunardi and putting SAS in charge of bracketology, too.

It's one of the issues I have with it when it's used for seeding purposes. I realize it's a game they theoretically can lose, but Arizona State stinks and Iowa State only played them because they didn't finish high enough in the Big 12 to earn a bye that round.

They deserve to be in the tourney having won 31 straight, IMO. But losing this puts them in the First Four, I think. The MAC I don't think has had an at-large bid since 1999.

They are 33 in WAB, surely will fall quite a bit with this loss. That was the only metric really keeping them in, so the committee is going to have to do some 'splainin.

Conference Matchup Rules

The first four teams from any conference placed on the top four seed lines must be assigned to different regions (unless five or more teams appear on those seed lines).
Teams from the same conference:
Cannot meet before the regional final if they played three or more times during the regular season and conference tournament.
Cannot meet before the regional semifinal if they played twice.
May meet as early as the second round if they played once or not at all.
These restrictions may be relaxed if a conference has nine or more teams in the tournament.
Any principle may be relaxed if two or more of the conference’s teams are among the last four at-large teams in the First Four.
Top-seeded teams (first four lines) will not be placed where they would face a significant home-crowd disadvantage.

About as good as we could hope for, IMO. He's got BYU as the 6 which would scare me a bit because Dybantsa would have 50 against us, but other than that I'd take that bracket in a heartbeat.

Two years ago they were a 5 but had to get dropped to a 6 to avoid playing on Sunday. They’ve been a mess but I really don’t want that 2nd round matchup.

“BREAKING: Massamba Diop is expected to play in college next season, per his agent. His potential return to ASU will at least partly hinge on the status of assistant Nick Irvin, whom Diop’s agent wants to continue to be with Diop next year.”

Not just a catch phrase

This year's bubble is objectively the worst we've ever had.

Based on how much worse the average bubble team is compared to the top teams in the sport, we can rank the worst bubbles in the last 15 years.

Worst bubble years:
1. 2026
2. 2015
3. 2024
4. 2025
5. 2019 https://t.co/lFQEUyquNN
