The odds are probably 50/50 we end up in Duke's region if we are a top-4 seed. Either them or Virginia because of the number of ACC and Big Ten teams near the top.Outside chance we end up with Kentucky/Tennessee, highly unlikely we are in Gonzaga's region. That's just how the seeding rules work.
Honest question..how in the hell could the committee justify putting Houston ahead of MU(and others)? So what...they have two total losses..but count em..2 Q1 wins and 20..thats right 20 wins against Q3-Q4..If Houston is seeded higher than MU someone's got some 'splaining to do. And my worries about the committee are justified. You cant seemingly place a huge priority on Q1 wins..then ignore it when it comes to Houston.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I'm curious what the committee does with Kansas. The Jayhawks are 10-7 since Azubuike's season ended. Plus, Vick is still on his leave of absence. The early season wins against Michigan State, Marquette, and Tennessee were by a full strength Kansas. The Kansas resumé and the team Kansas fields in the tournament is an interesting contrast.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
The same thing that would happen to Duke if Zion's season is over. (Which may explain why Duke is doing the smart thing and not saying a word until the committee meets.)
There's almost reason to prefer a 5 to a 4. 4s will be matched up with 13s, who are going to be mostly mid-to-low-major conference champs. 5s get 12s, who will be mostly bad high major teams (like Arizona St. or Clemson or Minnesota). I'd rather take my chances against middle-of-the-pack Big 10 teams than proven winners from the lower conferences.
I agree, I don’t think it really matters if we are a 3 or a 6 at this point. Earn a 3? You play 30-4 wofford. Get a 6? You play 19-13 Clemson. Not a huge difference. The second round game would obviously be tougher but not by a large stretch. I guess avoiding a #1 or #2 as long as possible would be my ideal situation. It doesn’t look like MU will drop to a 7 or an 8 so that should be good at least.
Wofford is going to be a 10-12 seed. Personally, I'd rather be a 4 seed, there's a reason why the 5/12 upset is a thing.
The 5/12 being an upset is because the 12 seed is usually the strongest mid major year after year. However I believe Wofford will get a 8/9 seed.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
