Also, Mizzou and Kylie Deberg just can’t get away from Nebraska man. How many years in a row is this for the tournament? 3? Missouri is the new Washington.

I also hope we learn the exact details re: replacement policies tomorrow, I don't know. I don't know if they are even going to be considered actually.
I'm assuming/hoping AQ's can be replaced up to 2-3 days before the tournament starts by another team in conference, unless it is a multi-bid conference, in that case, the 1st team out on the at-large list would replace that team. That means being a part of the first four out could be crucial.
This is also unique -- the Basketball tournaments did not have over a week gap before the first matches will be played.

The week+ gap is probably a good thing. That might have saved VCU or let Louisville sub in for them in the men's basketball tournament.

It's also one that doesn't need to repeat itself, (atNCAA): Washington-Minnesota is a perfectly good 4/5 pairing that hasn't been played way too much, no need to mess with it, okay.

2021 FINAL Bracketology* * These predictions will not be reflected in trojansc's record unless they are all correct LOL! That's soooo funny. I was thinking of telling you to write this line.

I just don't see it with Utah. They were very fortunate to play a Washington State team that was missing key players. Besides that, they split with UCLA. They didn't beat Oregon or Washington (obviously, didn't play) and lost to Colorado. I think you maybe misremembered this? Utah played Washington twice. They lost to the Huskies twice. It was Oregon they didn't play at all.

We'll see how hard the committee looked at all these PAC results, which can take a little bit of sorting through instead of looking at W-L records, since the no-make-up policy was instituted.

I didn't know if you had forgotten, or if you had just misplaced the comment.

Georgia Tech's two wins over FSU are forever ago, does that matter? By "forever" you mean on October 7th and 8th. And both wins were sweeps. GT ends with a better conference record and better overall record. If you are correct, and the NCAA snubs GT yet *again*, their fans will be left to wonder how badly they were hurt by having their starting setter miss most of the spring season with an injury, and by pundits like you who want to put vastly more weight into spring season results over fall season ones.

Left out some things.
The bad loss GT had to Miami was 3-2 on Sept 24 (using trojan terminology, this is forever plus two weeks).
The scores of the six games where FSU lost to GT were 25-17, 25-18, 26-24, 25-14, 25-17, 25-20. But don't mind these data points, as they are forever ago so they shouldn't be counted. Forever plus two weeks though, *that* matters.
Also, I am unhappy with your indication that GT's chances of getting in are lessened by the historical comparison between the ACC and SEC. Either we are doing this by school or we aren't. can't have it both ways. The NCAA has gone on record that they assess each school individually. That may of course be just a lie. But that is what they say.

Why do you say that Florida did not lose this Spring and has *one* win vs Kentucky? I think they played twice and split.

A favorite pastime of mine is to watch the selection show with the trojansc list of last 4/first 4 to see if there will be any resulting outrage. You definitely get a pass this year, no matter how it turns out (unless you get them all right of course).

I will go with Georgia Tech in and Florida State out. I think this is the final decision for the last at-large. I don't see Marquette getting in.
Last 4 in: Rice, Missouri, San Diego, Georgia Tech Last 4 out: Florida State, Tennessee, Kansas State, Marquette (maybe Arkansas gets a mention).
The last three seeds comes down to: Western Kentucky, Washington State, Baylor, and Purdue.
