[RSSBot]

StatSeed is StatSheet's postseason projections for all of Division I, including the NCAA Tournament, National Invitation Tournament (NIT), College Basketball Invitational (CBI), and the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). Read more about how StatSeed is calculated.
StatSheet now projects Colorado as an NCAA Tournament bubble team but likely out unless it improves. The Buffaloes are sitting at #73 in the StatSheet StatRank with a 14-7 overall record and a 6-3 record in the Pac 12.
Over the last four games, Colorado looked solid with wins against USC, Arizona, and Arizona State but also took on a bad loss to RPI #115 UCLA.
Colorado has a 2-6 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes an 0-3 record against the RPI Top 50 and no record against AP ranked teams. While the Buffaloes have no quality wins, they're dinged by a bad loss to RPI #115 UCLA.
The last four teams into the NCAA Tournament with at-large bids are NC State (15-7, 4-3 ACC, StatRank #60), Arkansas (15-6, 3-3 SEC, StatRank #50), Oregon (15-5, 6-2 Pac 12, StatRank #63), and Purdue (15-7, 5-4 Big Ten, StatRank #51).
The first four teams out are Colorado (14-7, 6-3 Pac 12, StatRank #73), New Mexico (17-4, 3-2 Mountain West, StatRank #44), Stanford (15-5, 5-3 Pac 12, StatRank #72), and Xavier (14-7, 5-3 A-10, StatRank #49).
The next four out are Brigham Young (18-6, 6-3 West Coast, StatRank #46), Miami (FL) (11-7, 2-3 ACC, StatRank #57), Oklahoma (13-7, 3-5 Big 12, StatRank #68), and Texas (13-8, 3-5 Big 12, StatRank #64).[TABLE="class: tablepad"]
