what is he basing UW's No. 2 seed on? That they'll go 12-4 in an absolutely atrocious conference?

If you read the discussion he says "It's not allowed, Bob. Something went haywire with our master spreadsheet and that will be corrected. Who would you like to play? This time of year we can take personal requests! "

In response to another question. 

His response to the badgers is "I'll admit the Wisconsin seeding is a bit high. Then again, they've finished first or second all but one time in the last five seasons. So what's more likely? A return to form by the most common champion or a repeat performance by a team no one will be surprised by in 2008-09?"

I forget where I read it, but one of the other "experts" had MU at a 5 and Madison at a 6.

Of course all of these predictions are worth about as much as a share of Circuit City stock.

UW-M isn't even close to Purdue or MSU this year. They'll finish btwn 3rd and 5th in the Big Televen, unless Leuer improved dramatically from last year.
