Nobody, not one team, is a lock.

yes, it's understood that no team could lose all its games from here on out and still get in, but that's not what anyone's doing

yea, hard to be a lock this early but I threw them up there anyway. Seems like this is said every year but holy hell does the bubble look atrocious. Well probably see a couple more A-10 teams emerge with good winning streak in conference play and probably another team or two from the Big East but its looking really weak overall.

Absurd. On that entire list we're 3rd to last in front of Mississippi and Stephen F Austin. Seriously?

We really need some good wins the ACC. Let's just not be on the bubble. The national pundits will use us as the example of a big conference team that doesn't belong in over the noble mid majors if we are on the bubble with our best win as NC State.

I started to updated this over the weekend, then we lost to UVA and I was too depressed to even look at it.
Seems like this has been a crazy week, although I haven't been paying close attention.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed at RPI and SOS being listed separately? I don't mean that to bash the OP - I see it everywhere. SOS is a major component of RPI, so I'm not sure why they need to list both.

OOC SOS should be listed separately.

Bubble seems to be pretty weak this year, and that's a good thing for us. Obviously they still have Duke and Miami left, but UVA has one of the more interesting bubble team resumes I have seen.

Why? It's already included in the RPI calculation. When you look at UVa's RPI, for instance, it's obvious that our SOS is terrible just because our RPI number is so low.
I feel like all OOC SOS does is lead to arguments like "Well, the RPI's are similar, but if you look at SOS, team A has played a harder schedule!"

Not to mention that there probably isn't any real difference between being able to beat a #200 team and a #300 team, but one cripples your RPI and the other barely makes a blip. Is anyone really more impressed by beating Fordham than IUPUI?

Very much agreed.
I will give the committee credit - they seem to have been more flexible in recognizing artificially high/low RPI's in recent years. The media still seems to have trouble with this concept though.
