T-Rank has done some awesome things this summer. Latest is Teamcast, using your schedule to predict whether you will be in the tournament or not.

I shortened the URL, cause it was really long before.
I'd take an 8 seed and run. Oh, and look at who's the first team out. 8-)
None other but the lovely Becky
It doesn't include 2nd and 3rd round tournament games (for obvious reasons) so that could impact the results. Some of these are interesting. Auburn as a 3 seed? South Carolina as 6 seed (after their team got decimated by graduation and transfers?). 7 SEC teams with top 6 seeds? Creighton WAY on the outside. Big 10 with only 2 top 7 seeds. I think this is one of those systems were certain stats can disproportionally skew a team in one direction or another. But its definitely an interesting read, and certainly wouldn't mind if it was true.
