Our Final 2 At-Large Bids Go To A & D

Votes garnered here and from my Twitter handle.

Team A = 9 votes (my vote)
Team D = 4 votes
Team B = 3 votes (my vote)
Team C = 2 votes

What I find interesting is of these 4 teams, Team C is the one considered most likely to get an at-large bid. I have barely heard them mentioned as a bubble team, if at all. The other 3 definitely considered bubble teams. In our vote, Team C finished dead last.

The teams are:

A = Georgia Tech
D = TCU
B = Indiana
C = Iowa State

Interesting stuff, thanks for doing this. Before looking at the responses I went with A & D. Of the 4 though A was the only one I viewed as a lock, the other 3 were pretty much a tossup but D's resume seemed just slightly better in a few ways.

Same here. Having the advantage of knowing who their high-end wins are (Kansas, North Carolina), that's what swayed me toward Indiana for the 2nd team.
 

I thought B, C, and D were obviously very close so I went with top 50 wins and top 100 wins to sway me on Indiana(B). Strength of schedule not overwhelmingly different. All 3 have a bad loss.

A: Georgia Tech has an RPI of: 64
B: Indiana = 82
C: Iowa St has a 46 RPI
D: TCU = 49

Knowing that, Iowa St would be the only lock out of the group because any RPI at 48 or better would make it.
