What it takes to make the NCAA tournament
There are two ways in. How qualifying works.
- Win the Sunshine State tournament (the auto bid): 17% chance.
- Or earn an at-large place on the NPI, the NCAA's ranking formula: 10% chance. NPI now 55.0, 15th of 57 in Super Region 2. The last at-large team usually ends on about 56.1, so Florida Tech is about 1.1 short. Super Region 2 has 5 at-large places.
How many more wins it needs
Its last 6 games against D2 teams: how many it might win, and its NCAA chance in each case. A tie counts as half a win.
| Wins | How likely | NCAA chance then |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 5% | about 10% |
| 1 | 17% | about 15% |
| 2 | 28% | about 15% |
| 3 | 29% | about 25% |
| 4 | 15% | about 45% |
| 5 | 5% | about 85% |
| 6 (all) | 0% | over 99% |
– 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 Florida Tech wins all 6: it makes the NCAA tournament as an at-large team, even without the conference title.
Rating over the season
Line: rating after each daily update. Shaded: likely range. Above 0 is better than an average D2 team.

Results
How much each result changed the rating. A win can lower it if the model expected a bigger win; a narrow loss to a strong team can raise it.
