[ericd7633]

This is my best guess for the top 16 for tomorrow. It will be fascinating to see what the committee thinks.

East:
1. Virginia
2. Michigan State
3. Houston
4. Iowa State

South:
1. Tennessee
2. North Carolina
3. Purdue
4. Virginia Tech

Midwest:
1. Duke
2. Michigan
3. Kansas
4. Marquette

West:
1. Gonzaga
2. Kentucky
3. Wisconsin
4. Louisville

Looks about right although I might have Nova at the 4 instead of Marquette but that's nitpicking

Who's your 5s right now ? I think the last 4 through the first 6 is really tough as all 6 of the teams I'd have there all seem pretty similar in resume

My 5's would be: Nova(had a tough time deciding between them and Marquette), Nevada, LSU and Maryland. Iowa and Texas Tech would be 6's.

I think Nova not being in there is fair considering we lost to Penn, and oh Furman too.

I dunno about Nevada tho...

I also think K State got the shaft considering theyre in 1st place in the highest rated conference and have beaten KU and I State

Tenn or UVA should also be #1 overall. Duke lost to Cuse at home.

Surprises to see Marquette on the 3. Seems like a few of the teams behind them have better resumes

I don't think so. They have 7 Q1 wins. I had Wisconsin ahead of them thinking they'd take into account NET ranking, but I think it's clear they value good wins. Nevada was the one surprise for me. But I wasn't completely sold on VT given their lack of food wins. But Nevada has none so idk.

We still have alittle work to do. But Houston should be a #1 seed.

I hope they are ... in Villanova's part of the bracket.

 

[rmilia1]

I don't think Houston should be a 1 but if have no issue with them as the last 2 seed

Since the reveal:

Kentucky has lost at home.
Michigan has lost to 9-15 Penn State.
UNC has lost at home.
Purdue has lost.
Iowa State lost at home to TCU
Wisconsin has lost twice.
UL has lost twice.

The top 4 are starting to separate themselves.
