OT: The Drexel Dragons

Today in college basketball for a ton of teams around the country is judgement day. Out of conference schedules and road wins will be judged. Formulas will be made and ignored. There is NO good way to do it.

Drexel is 23-8 overall, with a 13-8 in conference schedule. They have big road wins over Syracuse, Villanova, Creighton, and Nevada. The one knock on drexel is 5 of their losses have come to VCU and Old Dominion.

The argument is they are 40th in the RPI, are in the CAA, breeder of George Mason, and they have many road out of conference wins. Some have them in, others have them out. I don't know about you guys but I am tired of seeing all the bids go to big state schools with all the money.

Prediction: Drexel with be a 12 seed in the Midwest playing Texas A&M in the first round.

If Drexel doesn't make it

It will be because the committee picks Old Dominion instead.

I don't see the CAA not getting 2 bids after what happened last season.

You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.

Look out!

I agree with what was said about Drexel & Syracuse being better than Arkansas and Illinois. With all the mid-major success that teams had last year, I thought they'd get a few more bids in.

On the bright side, this might trigger a vendetta by Etan Thomas. Of course, it could also lead to Haywood-Thomas IV.

Full disclosure

The only reason I put Syracuse in there was because Drexel beat them.

I'm actually glad to see Syracuse not make it, because I'm tired of their crap schedules.

I'd put Drexel in over Arkansas, and that's probably it. I'm also wondering how Stanford got in there, but I don't know who I'd replace them with. The only profile that makes any sense is Appalaichian State, honestly.
