I agree w/ alot of what Joe has here but one thing really sticks out to me..

Wisconsin has moved up to a 2 seed and Georgetown is a 3 seed.

They should be swapped, The Big 10 is so bad Wiscy did nothing to overtake GTown for the 2 spot.

Just wanted to see if anyone would really put Wiscy as a 2 over Georgetown, because I don't even think it's really close.

This is from before this weekend's action, so Gtown's win over L'ville isn't accounted for.

Agree with you, though, Wisky would be about as bad of a 2 seed as we've seen in years.

Im like soo lost with this bracketology. First year really getting into this bracketology stuff. Like how do they divide it into West, Midwest, East, and south? Anyone got a site where i can learn more about this or if you dont mind telling me how they do it i would really appreciate it.

They rank each seed as well.

Like there are four number 1 seeds. They take those four school and rank 'em 1-4. The higher rated teams get to stay closer to home.

I don't necessarily agree, but when you come right down to it - I think he is probably giving Wisconsin's win over Texas on the road alot of value while Georgetown does not have a road win of that caliber. Otherwise, their RPI and SOS are nearly identical.

Would be a shame for the Big 11 champs to receive a higher seed than the outright Big East champs. The caliber of play from the BE to the B11 isn't even comparable.

It's of little significance, though. Wisky will struggle to survive the opening weekend.

I would agree with that if Wisconsin was ranked ahead of Gtown all along, but they actually swapped places recently. I am not sure what happened to justify the swap.

SU should be in there

Wisky is extremely beatable outside of their state.. They benefitted from a weak BIG-TEN.

That was one game.. I don't like to judge teams off one game. Was an impressive win though.

Not saying their great but they've only been beat by 3 teams this year. They'll have earned a 2 if they somehow get past Purdue in the BTT final.

Man if WVU stayed at a nine here we'd be doomed...St Mary's and then UCLA...ouch....Need some BE tourney wins to get that seed to a 7 if thats possible...oh well

mofome · 03-09-2008, 10:30 PM

MD is out unless they make a run in the acc

Junkyard Dog · 03-09-2008, 10:32 PM

the east looks weak in that projection

Wassymac · 03-09-2008, 10:35 PM

just get Purdue to Denver is my only request

awhitejackson · 03-09-2008, 11:11 PM

I think the teams in the play in game try to throw in the towel...There will be like 12 points scored in that game.. I would rather be on the team that came soooo close to making the tourny and didnt than the team that does and gets smoked by UNC by 65 points.....This is not a serious statement, but I feel for that team every year....
