The problem looking at the Matrix is sure they're in a lot of brackets.. But they are in a lot of folks 1st 4 right now where a loss or 2 and they are out.
Also, the one thing that would give me pause for Marquette fans quite frankly is the bracket reveal from a few weeks ago. The committee used RPI quite a lot in that.
If it's comical to say that Marquette would be a lock with an RPI of 70, why did you say in another thread that Syracuse is a lock when their RPI projects to 75?

I never said they would be a lock at 9-9. I said 9-9 with a win in the BET. I would be sweating it out big time at 18-13. And the committee may have used RPI, but they also made it known top 50 wins were very important and MU has 5 of those and would likely end up with 7 if they can get to 19 wins
I know, but Stever said that Syracuse would be a lock after they beat Duke.
