Gonna be real annoying when we finish something like 26-7 and don’t get in the tourney. That Rice loss is going to haunt us. 

Prior to the Rice game, was anyone talking about us as a bubble team? “Last four in”, “first four out” or anything like that?

I wasn’t really looking. Just have this sinking feeling that no one was really considering us, not anyone outside of this board.

Not that I can recall, honestly. But I think they’d have a real case if they ran the table and only losses were FAU and in-tourney loss.

The more I've thought about this the last few weeks, the less I agree.  I think we were at-best in their peripheral vision after the first FAU loss, and the second loss sealed the deal.  They aren't even thinking about us right now.

I honestly cannot see a scenario where we get in bubble conversations at this point.  We're going to need to win the CUSA tourney.

UAB was favored to win yesterday's game by 4 points. UNT beat them by 11 and have been rewarded with a sizable jump in the NET. UNT is now at #61 as of this morning. Still almost impossible to move our way into at-large bid territory, but we can still hope to continue improving on offense and make a run at the C-USA Tournament Title.

A 4 point win over UTSA on our home court isn't going to impress the NET. We'll see how far we fall tomorrow. 

Only a 3 position drop, which is surprising. I'll certainly take it, but it makes me wonder what a larger win would've done. Pushed us up a spot or two?

I wouldn't say it "all comes down to $$$ and name recognition" since some teams with not much of either have gotten at-large selections in the past.  But it's really tough.  FAU probably needs to run the table until the league final to assure themselves of an at-large should they lose to us in Frisco.

Most Bracketologists that I follow have 4-5 teams getting bids from the Mountain West, and 1-2 from the AAC (with Memphis being bubble team).  WCC will have 2 teams in, while the Pac12 is looking like 2-3 teams (with Oregon being the bubble team).  I can really see the last at large bid coming down to Memphis, Oregon, and FAU.
