What it takes to make the NCAA tournament

There are two ways in. How qualifying works.

How many more wins it needs

Its last 7 games against D2 teams: how many it might win, and its NCAA chance in each case. A tie counts as half a win.

WinsHow likelyNCAA chance then
0 9% under 5%
1 25% under 5%
2 31% under 5%
3 22% under 5%
4 9% under 5%
5 3% under 5%
6 under 1% –
7 (all) under 1% about 95%

– 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 Assumption wins all 7: its NPI clears the cut line in 94% of simulated seasons, without needing the conference title.

Rating over the season
