What it takes to make the NCAA tournament

How many more wins it needs

Its last 8 games against D2 teams: how many it might win, and its NCAA chance in each case. A tie counts as half a win.

– means too few simulated seasons to say. Which games are won matters as well as how many: wins over strong teams and away wins count for more.

If Adams St. wins all 8: its NPI clears the cut line in 2% of simulated seasons, without needing the conference title.
