Obviously Nova and KU. But after that? You can make a case for UNC, Duke and Gonzaga. FWIW I think the winner of zona/Oregon lands as the #2 out west.

This is my guess for now:

#1 overall: Villanova - East region
#2 overall: Kansas - Midwest region
#3 overall: Duke - South region
#4 overall: Gonzaga - West region
#5 overall: UNC - Midwest region
#6 overall: Winner Oregon/Zona - west region
#7 overall: Kentucky(assuming they win) - South region
#8 overall: Loser Oregon/Zona - East

Another scenario I could see happening is UNC as the 1 in the South, Duke as the 1 in the west and Gonzaga getting shipped out to the South or Midwest, similar to what happened in 2015. With the winner of Zona/Oregon being the #2 in the west.

I believe Gonzaga will be a #1 seed. Villanova also. Past that it's anyone.

Duke was fortunate to play the championship game on saturday before the committee decided. They usually don't factor in Sunday championships results into seeding however.

Villanova and Kansas are locks. North Carolina I think is fairly safe. To play a hunch, Arizona gets the last 1 over Gonzaga. It sounded like the Zags were barely a 1 seed while undefeated, so I think they slide down a spot after the BYU loss to end the regular season even with all the chaos in the conference tournaments.

It will be interesting to see what the committee does with the 2 seed in the East. Because they will be in the position of matching up the strongest 2 ( UNC or duke) versus the #1 overall seed.

they're going to put that "strongest #2 seed" - Probably Duke, in the East, and say they weren't the top #2 seed on the S-Curve. Instead, whichever of the Western teams, either Arizona or Gonzaga, doesn't get the #1 will be put in the #5 slot, so that the pundits can say "they matched #4 against #5 in the same region"

Duke will be #6 on the curve, and it doesn't sound quite as bad to say "#6 and #1 in the same region" as "the top seeds on both the #1 and #2 lines in the same region"

The east will still be the toughest region though, and could very possibly get UCLA on the three line too

Gonzaga beat Arizona earlier in the season.

In case you forgot .....

I'd rather AZ have the #2 seed in the W. Otherwise, we'll get put in the South or something. I'd rather be close to home with the potential to face GU than somewhere else and face another top 2 seed. Not like AZ will get it, but I don't even want the #1 seed in the W. Let GU have it. I like when we play hunting someone else, and as long as we play all of our games before the FF in Utah or Cali, I'm fine with it.

I put together two potential 1-4 lineups for each region

EAST REGION - New York, NY
1. Villanova (1 overall)
2. Duke
3. UCLA
4. West Virginia

MIDWEST REGION - Kansas City, MO
1. Kansas (2 Overall)
2. Oregon
3. Lousiville
4. Notre Dame

SOUTH REGION - Memphis, TN
1. UNC (3 Overall)
2. Kentucky
3. Baylor
4. Purdue

WEST REGION - San Jose, CA
1. Gonzaga (4 Overall)
2. Arizona
3. Florida State
4. Virginia

Or, if the committee doesn't give either UNC or Duke the benefit of the doubt in terms of a #1 seed, given their high loss totals:

EAST REGION - New York, NY
1. Villanova (1 Overall)
2. UNC
3. UCLA
4. West Virginia

MIDWEST REGION - Kansas City, MO
1. Kansas (2 Overall)
2. Kentucky
3. Louisville
4. Purdue

WEST REGION - San Jose, CA
1. Gonzaga (3 Overall)
2. Oregon
3. Florida State
4. Notre Dame

SOUTH REGION - Memphis, TN
1. Arizona (4 Overall)
2. Duke
3. Baylor
4. Florida

Those that tend to say Arizona wasn't at full strength when they played are the same that say Duke has 8 losses in the best conference without being at full strength.

I'm not going to pretend anymore what the committee is thinking, but they keep saying that they take into consideration missing key personnel when determining season.

As a side note, I remember someone from the committee saying that when Boeheim missed those games like last year, that it would be taken into consideration. And I think I remember someone from the committee saying the same about K this season.
