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 is now projecting California to be a nine seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Golden Bears are, at this point, on track for an automatic bid, but they won't need to win their conference tournament as they're unranked in the AP Poll and sit at #40 in the StatSheet StatRank. They have a 20-6 overall record and a 10-3 record in the Pac 12.
Over the last four games, California was steady with wins against UCLA, USC, and Arizona State but also dropped one against RPI #73 Arizona.
California has a 7-4 record against the RPI Top 100 but an 0-3 record against the RPI Top 50 and AP Top 25. While the Golden Bears have no quality wins, they're hampered by two bad losses including RPI #149 Washington State and RPI #137 Oregon State.
The last four teams into the NCAA Tournament with at-large bids are Ole Miss (15-9, 5-5 SEC, StatRank #53), Arkansas (17-8, 5-5 SEC, StatRank #63), Purdue (15-9, 5-6 Big Ten, StatRank #57), and Texas (16-9, 6-6 Big 12, StatRank #48).
The first four teams out are Colorado (17-8, 9-4 Pac 12, StatRank #67), Minnesota (17-8, 5-7 Big Ten, StatRank #66), Oregon (18-7, 9-4 Pac 12, StatRank #68), and St. Joseph's (PA) (16-10, 6-5 A-10, StatRank #49).
The next four out are Brigham Young (21-6, 9-3 West Coast, StatRank #49), Iona (19-6, 11-3 MAAC, StatRank #54), South Florida (15-10, 8-4 Big East, StatRank #60), and Xavier (16-9, 7-4 A-10, StatRank #56).
