And the Big East boys. I’m seeing 3 with a fourth as an unlikely possibility. Five bid steals is nuts.
I guess we’ll see that 96 team tournament PDQ. Welcome .500 teams to the big dance. The non-con of power teams is going to be littered with cupcakes to make sure you can get to 20 wins and a nice, mediocre NET.

A field with six mountain west teams and three big East teams is crazy, despite our noted struggles against them.

FWIW the coach said the resignation was his decision.

I think I tend to agree they are least likely of St Johns, PC and them to get in. Which is wild that the 4 seed of the BE will miss out. I also tend to think they'd have the best shot of winning a game or two in the tournament despite the fact that they were the only one of the three we beat twice. I think their style of rugby ball would give a team on the six line (like an Utah State) a ton of issues.

Especially when your league’s 4 seed won the natty the year before.
