I have to say that SS has become my go-to. Lunardi doesn't publish every day, and Palm is an absolute slave to the straight RPI.

Huzzah!

Appreciate it, thank you.

Kind of hoping there are a lot of bid-stealers in the conference tournaments so that the bubble shrinks significantly. Seemingly more so than in recent years, there are so many (bubble) teams that look a lot alike. A few upsets would weed out some of those. Usually it's just the last 2 or 3 bids to grind away on. This year it might be the last 5 or 6?
