GCU has ZERO top 5 wins, and the only way they can get one is to beat UCLA in the finals, which makes it a moot point.
GCU has a nice KPI, but they don't just go strictly by KPI/RPI, they haven't for some time
#2 if we win the BWT. (UCLA has more loses than us by they have better metrics and played a way tougher sch so they are basically locked as the 1 seed)
#3 If we don't win the BWT and Grand Canyon wins the MPSFT
Guessing #2 if we lose in the BWT and Grand Canyon loses in the MPSF. But yes if Grand Canyon loses to UCLA in the finals they could always jump up for the 2 seed.
Nightmare scenario. We lose in the BWT semis, Stanford or Pepperdine wins the MPSF, Grand Canyon loses in the MPSF finals. That scenario opens up the possibility of Grand Canyon getting the 2nd at large bid (ULCA is 100% assured a bid and the #1 seed at this point) and LBSU being left out. Granted I don't think that will happen and I also think it would be close enough (basically a coin toss) were the NCAA would just pick LBSU over Grand Canyon cause we are the host. BUT there is a slim chance.
It is important to get the 2 seed over the 3 seed as the top two seeds basically get a bye into the semi (the #8 and #7 seeds are horrible). Where as the #3 seed actually has to play a team in the quarters that at least has the potential to pull and upset.
