Do you think Wofford has to go unbeaten until conf tournament to get at large bid or do you think Wofford can afford 1 loss in conf and then lose final and still get in ?

There are 4 very good Southern teams I could see any of the 4 winning the auto bid and I could see Wofford bowing out as soon as the semi's.

I would like to see 2 of these teams get in I think 3 are worthy but that will never happen.

I think Wofford has room for probably 1 loss. The thing about the SoCon is it's a borderline top 10 conference. A loss to one of these top teams aren't going to hurt like most people would expect. I think the lack of signature win is a bigger issue.

And I think their chance might depend greatly on the general bubble status. Hope for a weaker bubble. If the committee runs out of quality major teams, they'll dip into the mid-major pool. But only then.
