Hey @ericd7633 what are the odds the B12 ends the year we it 2 1 seeds? I personally think there's a better chance they get 0 1 seeds than 2. B12 is fucking loaded. I understand why you have it that way right now but do a little projecting for me

I actually agree with you. I would say OU is a better bet than Kansas at this point. As far as the #1 seeds I would say that Nova has the best chance to stay on the 1 line followed by UNC. Projecting out I think Iowa has the 3rd best chance at a 1 seed. Followed by the Big 12 winner Kansas/OU. A&M probably has the easiest path in terms of schedule strength so while they have a great chance to get a lot of wins, any loss will effect them more than the others on the 1/2 line. After doing this bracket the top 7 have, IMO really separated themselves. Maryland is on the two line but they aren't really close to Iowa(7 on the "S" curve)
