1. VIRGINIA

3. KANSAS
4. MICH. ST

5. TENNESEE
6. ARIZONA
7. DUKE
8. VILLANOVA

9. CINCINATTI
10. PURDUE
11. NORTH CAROLINA
12. AUBURN

13.OHIO ST
14. CLEMSON
15. TEXAS TECH
16. OKLAHOMA

Obviously the bottom 8 will probably be different.. but I think the top 8 will stand

Tennessse is 5-1 since the reveal, why do you have 8-4 in parenthesis?

I think that was our conference record at the time of the reveal, correct? And then the second part of his post reflects # of losses since the reveal - which is why he has (-1) beside the Vols.

St. Mary’s lost last night to BYU, this means Gonzaga won’t get a chance for that Q1 win tonight, instead they’ll be playing BYU...so even though it was a small chance Gonzaga moved up much by winning their conference, now with not playing SMC I see no chance they move up past us even if we go 0-1.

Also something I’ve not seen mentioned much, but since Auburn lost Anfernee McLemore to injury the Tigers are 2-3....we are 4-1 in that span. If Tigers lose their opening game or even 2nd game I have to think the committee looks at them and says they aren’t a 2/3 seed without McLemore.

The Kenyon Martin treatment. Fair or not, it is worth considering by the committee.

I think it’s 100% fair and committee has said they look at it...I mean it sucks for the rest of the team but if you lose a player and aren’t playing like that same team you shouldn’t be seeded that high imo. Now if Auburn goes out and makes the SECT final game then I think they’ve proven themselves, but lose first or second game and they should drop to around a 4/5 seed imo.

Gap between Tennessee and Michigan is larger than the gap between Tennessee and Michigan State fwiw...imo Vols win more games than Auburn in SECT and they will pass both Michigan State & Auburn and be playing in Nashville.

Yikes. I’m skeptical about the evenness of these regions. I think this would have to get rebalanced

Let's trade with Auburn! I think we can out Virginia - Virginia (brutal defense - physical play) and the rest of that bracket looks weak.

On the plus side it would appear Palm has us as the top overall 3 seed, what’s odd though is he has us in Pittsburgh...he gives Xavier Nashville early on because of how many teams are closer to Detroit and that it’s basically samendistance to either for Xavier...however he has us in Pittsburgh and Purdue in Nashville, he could easily swap those 2 as Purdue is about the same distance from Pittsburgh as Nashville, but obviously Tennessee much closer to Nashville.
