    Exactly

    Again, they are predicting who has the best chance of advancing and pulling off upsets if the get in based on measurable and metrics

    You didn't read it or have reading comprehension problems.

    "Our model’s basic power ratings peg the Bulls as just the fifth-best team and sixth-best Bracket Breaker in the conference."

    My lord y'all are a pitiful bunch with low self esteem.   From what I understand, this model is nothing more of a predictor of NCAA tourney upsets and therefore "bracket busters".   It's not a **** ranking system that says we are the 5th best team in the conference or that we would lose to North Texas or whoever.  Simply looking at the statistics/metrics and predicting who has the best chance of busting brackets if they get into the dance.    From one article I kind of saw (I'm not a subscriber) it was doing pretty well back in 2021.   No idea how it has done since

    But come one man.  Have a little self confidence and stop thinking everyone is out to get us

    Updated NET Rankings

    Here's a look at Katz's entire rankings after a loaded weekend of men's basketball: 

    1. UConn (1): The Huskies destroyed Marquette and made it known they are the best team in the country. 
    2. Houston (7): The Cougars will try to get to the top of the Big 12 against Iowa State on Monday. 
    3. Arizona (3): The Wildcats are a No. 1 seed but need to beat Wazzu this week to hold onto first in the Pac-12. 
    4. Purdue (2): The Boilermakers dipped Sunday after losing to the Jake Diebler-interim-coached Ohio State Buckeyes. 
    5. Alabama (9): The Tide is now 10-2 in the SEC and Nate Oats is doing a fantastic job. 
    6. Iowa State (16): Time to give the Cyclones their just attention and ranking. TJ Otzelberger is doing a sensational job. 
    7. Marquette (4): The Golden Eagles have to drop but let’s see if the loss at UConn was more of an anomaly. 
    8. Kansas (6): The Jayhawks got a much-needed road win at Oklahoma. 
    9. Baylor (15): The Bears are primed for a big week to stay in the Big 12 chase. 
    10. Tennessee (10): The Vols are keeping pace with Alabama in the SEC. 
    11. North Carolina (5): The Tar Heels continue to stumble a bit, losing at Syracuse. 
    12. Duke (11): The Blue Devils have quietly climbed into a tie in the ACC.
    13. Kentucky (NR): A season-changing week for Kentucky with the home win over Ole Miss and the road win at Auburn. 
    14. Illinois (14): The Illini got the road win at Maryland and continue to surge. 
    15. Creighton (21): The Bluejays will learn where they stand this week by hosting UConn. 
    16. Saint Mary’s (13): The Gaels remain unblemished in the WCC.
    17. Washington State (23): The Cougars have won seven in a row and are poised for a showdown with Arizona and a chance to be in first in the Pac-12. 
    18. San Diego State (NR): Welcome back to the Aztecs who looked the part of MWC champs in the win over New Mexico.
    19. South Florida (31): The Bulls have won 11 in a row, beat FAU and are now the team to beat in the American.  
    20. Florida (NR): The Gators have won three in a row, including beating Auburn.

    This **** is so stupid. Q1 this and Q2 that.

     

    If they really wanted to calculate who are the best teams right now, they shouldn't put much stock in how a team played in November. That might as well be preseason with how new teams are nowadays. 

     

    Who are the teams that are winning their conference and are playing like top teams? 

    USF terminates design-build contract for its new football stadium

    Clarification

    Being in the industry this usually happens when the builder can't honor original bid prices. Usually arrising from change orders, material increases, completion date, or even internal financial (construction company) issues.

     

    I hope we come out in a better situation than with the original contractor but I have my doubts.

    I think that may have been a bit overblown with some editing ....... but not much else was.

    "By the end of the spring, Sanders had cut more than 50 players and another 20 left on their own in what is believed to be the biggest roster overhaul ever seen in college football. Sanders ended up with 86 newcomers on the 114-player roster, kicking off a season where the Buffaloes started 3-0 and were the talk of the nation for weeks before fading to a 4-8 finish, three wins better than last year but without a bowl trip."
