What it takes to make the NCAA tournament

There are two ways in. How qualifying works.

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.

WinsHow likelyNCAA chance then
0 1% –
1 9% about 5%
2 22% about 10%
3 35% about 30%
4 24% about 60%
5 8% about 95%
6 (all) 2% 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 Quincy wins all 6: it makes the NCAA tournament as an at-large team, even without the conference title.

Rating over the season
