No Minnesota huh? Pay attention. They would be in for sure. U lose cred when u make a mistake like that. Fix it.

My bracket is a projection of where teams will be rated in March, not "as of right now". Minnesota has a brutal closing schedule, and based on their record right now, I don't see them finishing better than 8-10 in conference play, most likely 7-11. The non-conference is pretty empty. No bad losses, but no quality wins either. 8-10 might be good enough playing in the #1 conference play, but it would still be pretty dicey.

If they do happen to get to 9-9, which frankly is not very likely at this point, they'll be in the field..
