Title: Not to get ahead of ourselves... but potential to move up a few seeds?
Post by: drewm88 on March 13, 2008, 11:28:42 PM
Joe Lunardi has us as a 5 (albeit his bottom #5). Remember everyone can be moved up or down one seed for procedural reasons.

The 1's are untouchable for us.
The 2's: if GT (bottom of his 2's) goes down tomorrow and we win this thing, tiny tiny chance we could move past them.
The 3's: Madison, Xavier, Ville, UConn. Two are done, two could lose tomorrow. If Madison falls to Michigan and we win the next 2, I could definitely see us moving past them. The Big 11 blows. Stop rewarding them. Xavier--a loss coupled with worries about Lavender's ankle?
The 4's: ND (We should be in front of them after tonight in my mind).
Stanford, Purdue, Indiana. All 3 have left something to be desired lately although Stanford was just one game.

I would love a protected seed. I would also love to not have to go to Anaheim (personally, not the team)

Edit: Might as well include the 5's and 6's
5's: Butler, Drake and Vandy. So cheer against Vandy.
6's: Mich State, Clemson, Wash State, BYU. So cheer against them as well I guess.

Edit: Stanford is tied with Arizona at the half. Let's go KO!

Forget a 1,2, or 3 seed. 4 is a possibility if we win the thing. Good chance of a 5, but we may still want to win tomorrow to be sure. 6 should be the absolute lowest at this point.

I hate being a low 5 seed, only because low 5 gets pushed out to Anaheim and it would be nice to have a game anywhere but there (only because thats the one place the road trip will not allow!)

Exactly. They put us in Anaheim and I either get real real lucky on a decent-priced standby ticket or pay through the nose, if I even go at all.
