The 11.7 Podcast crew wraps up the final midweek slate and previews the last regular-season weekend, including weekend pick ’em selections and early conference tournament coverage for leagues starting Thursday (Ivy, Patriot, Southland).
They discuss Mercer and Jacksonville State’s midweek wins, the new DSR metric, selection committee factors, and how volatile the 10–16 regional host range remains, especially in the Big Ten (Nebraska, Oregon, USC) and ACC (Georgia Tech title race, Wake hosting push, NC State/Virginia Tech bubble, Virginia’s slide). They hit Big 12 positioning (Kansas vs West Virginia, Cincinnati’s case), SEC seeding chaos and bubble debates (Kentucky, Oklahoma, Tennessee, LSU), Big West’s tight race with UC Irvine in danger of missing its own corrado augias tournament, Sun Belt host/bid scenarios, AAC concerns around UTSA’s profile, and Southland tournament format and picks, then finish with pick ’em rivalry series and under-the-radar matchups.
