You're way too down on the BE. only 3 bids including an 8 and a 12? Georgetown will be much better than an 8 seed.

Virginia wouldn't be the #2 in the same region as #1 Duke.  There might be other "rules" broken but I didn't look too hard for them.  At this point of the year, you're probably better off just making the 1 to 68 S-curve.

Yeah way too few BE teams, we'd never get only 3 in the NCAA Tourney.

Too much parity in the BEast. The bottom got better and the top got worse (except for Nova). We'll eat each other alive. I've got Georgetown as second in the BEast, but I'm not sold that they are a top 25 team.

My only complaint is that you don't have Marquette winning the national title.

Fix that and we're good.

The BE is going to need a great non-conference.  Fingers crossed.

So far Wojo has given us every reason to believe in him. I don't expect a ton out of this team this season but I also didn't expect him to recruit this well. So we will see. If Wojo can coach this team to the bubble Id be ecstatic.

I think there's a clear division between the top 5 and the bottom 4. I think this year's Georgetown will be better than last year's Creighton. I think the BE will do much better OOC this year and will have multiple top 25 teams. I'm very high on all the young talent in the league.

I could not possibly disagree more on this.

I didn't follow all of the seeding rules. I basically did a 68 team S curve. Putting a bracket was just for fun.

Gophers not in it???


and behind Maryland to boot???


That right there will be among the 22%.

Pretty nice overall though. Agree with others that Gtown is better than an 8.

Georgetown has some good, young talent. The conference needs Georgetown to be good.
