Seeding- your own thoughts

[kyleb740]

Anyone else a bracket nerd and do their own seeding. For how wrong I probably am this is mine. Post yours if you are are a nerd like me.

1 Bama, Kansas, Houston, UCLA
2 Purdue, Texas, Arizona, Baylor
3 Gonzaga, Kansas St, UCONN, Tennessee
4 Marquette, St Mary’s, Xavier, Indiana
5 SDSU, Virginia, Duke, Miami
6 FAU, Creighton, Northwestern, Texas A&M
7 Missouri, Iowa St, Kentucky, Maryland
8 Michigan St, NC St, Illinois TCU
9 WVU, Memphis, Boise St, Penn St
10 Arkansas, Auburn, Nevada, ASU
11 Providence, USC

Play-in: Pittsburgh, Utah St, Iowa, Miss St

Just missed: Vandy, Rutgers, UNC, Wisconsin, Oklahoma St, Clemson

Edit: should also add that this is based entirely on computer rankings/quad wins and not eye tests.

 

[U Go UK]

Don’t understand Tennessee that high.

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

I don’t think it really matters.
Within the top 30-40 teams, anybody can beat anybody on a given day. Our chances are always a little less though because our coach doesn’t know the meaning of adjustment.

 

[ukcat27]

FAU is not a 6 seed

 

[bluegoad72]

FAU is not a 6 seed

Agree. Probably lose today

 

[kyleb740]

I would usually agree but all the computer metrics support them that high. There a glut of similar resumes from 6-9 seeds and the fact they only have 3 losses gives them the advantage. If they lose tonight i could see them as probably an 8 or 9 I would guess.

 

[kyleb740]

Also like I said I’m no expert just something I do for fun each year. I will most likely be way off on a few teams

 

[kyleb740]

Don’t understand Tennessee that high.

I think Marquette moves up and Tenn down if Marquette wins tonight.

 

[HenryMuto]

Marquette would be a 3 with a loss and a 2 with a win I believe.

Baylor would drop to a 3 if Marquette wins.

Tenn or UCONN will be a 4.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

UK usually is seeded lower than I expect. So an 8 would not shock me.

 

[HenryMuto]

I think NC State is much closer to the cutline would be at best a 10 might be a 11 might even be in play in.

I think Rutgers might be in the play in game.

Iowa is going to be higher they will not be in the play in.

Nevada I think might be out and Rutgers in that one is a tough call.

 

[cats#1again]

Right now I think Texas Bama are the two best teams

 

[christophero]

Duke or Virginia could take Indiana's 4 seed as they lost today. Kentucky 7/8 seed.

 

[GuyFromKY]

KU will be the top overall seed I think regardless of what happens in the last 10 minutes against Texas.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Thanks Fran.

I think if Kansas loses that Houston should go to Kansas City and Kansas should have to go to the west.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

I’m interested to see how the committee handles Mizzou and UK. Kenpom and the NET much prefer UK. I was shocked to see Mizzou isn’t even top 50 in KP(51). But they did whoop us and not have the bad losses.

 

[christophero]

Maybe too soon, but does 20-13 get Vanderbilt in?

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

KU will be the top overall seed I think regardless of what happens in the last 10 minutes against Texas.

Shouldn’t be
Hell, Higgins and Sirmons together can’t get KU within 15 points of Texas, and just got through beating them like a drum last week by 16. Would only have 1 more loss after this game.

 

[Wildcatsworld]

Kentucky will be 8/9. That’s default for crappy Kentucky teams. So if get lucky and win have to play 1 seed which would make for good national tv.

Yeah UK could be anywhere between a 7 and 9. And honestly there can’t be any complaints cause they didn’t handle their business late in the year and have the bad losses earlier.

The ACC sucks way too hard to give all 3 a 5 seed. I have to see matchups but I would be surprised if more than 1 ACC team makes it out of the 1st weekend

 

[ManitouDan]

I follow us , and dont follow very closely anyone else . I couldn't name 6 of the top ten . Maybe 6 , but not 8

 

[christophero]

Is Kansas really a 1 seed? They just lost by 20.

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

Is Kansas really a 1 seed? They just lost by 20.

Just lost to the same team by 16 a week ago

 

[irishcat1965]

Probably UK will be a 7 seed. But it’s the matchups not the seeding this year.

 

[HenryMuto]

Yep a 1 seed the question is are or Houston higher overall makes a big difference for region.

They had 17 quad 1 wins

 

[kyleb740]

Yes Kansas is a 1 seed easily and could be the top overall seed if Bama/Houston doesn’t win tomorrow.

My 2 cents. Marquette up. KSt down 1 line. St Mary's. FAU down at least 2 lines each. Nevada out. Iowa up to L10. Ok St into play-in. Duke or VA maybe tA&M up to 4.

 

[KneeBurns]

Thanks Fran.

I think if Kansas loses that Houston should go to Kansas City and Kansas should have to go to the west.

Interesting. I’ve read a lot of posts here that Gonzaga is a paper Tiger who shouldn’t get 1 seeds based on the league. But today I see posts advocating an exception for Houston

Defensively Houston is light years from Gonzaga.

 

[KneeBurns]

Ok, but they had the same kenpom def rating the last two years and were beaten soundly in the elite 8 both years. So the comparison to Gonzaga is fair

 

[HenryMuto]

Marquette will be at least a high 3 maybe a 2 I am torn on this right now. Depends on if the committee already did their seeding.

We all know Sunday don't make a bit of difference for seeding only if teams need to get in via the win.

We had 0 bid stealers this year so more reason for them to just put it in and forget it come tonight.

So what I was asking is does tonight make a difference in high end seeding or are they already blown past the top 8 seed lines ?

If UCLA/Arizona matters then who knows.

I could see Marquette getting a 2 over Baylor.

No way in hell is Marquette a 4 not a chance in the world on that one.

 

[cats#1again]

Tennessee should be a 4/5 at best

They will probably give duke a 3 now

 

[cats#1again]

Bama kansas Houston UCLA
Arizona Purdue Marquette texas
Duke Baylor Gonzaga UConn
K st, tenn, sd st.

After those 15 you got a ton of teams that suck
This is a crazy tournament
Besides Bama Texas maybe a hot UCLA team
Nobody has a chance.

 

[cats#1again]

Man I really hope this is not a year like 2010 where duke is gifted a easy Rd win somehow
That 2010 team wasn't very good at all

 

[christophero]

I don't think Duke is a 3. But I think they are a 4 after beating Virginia.

 

[Neue Regel]

Man I really hope this is not a year like 2010 where duke is gifted a easy Rd win somehow

They were 35-5 bad for sure.

 

[yes_takeaside]

Expect 7 seed UK vs 10 seed Providence

 

[Mike-D]

UK usually is seeded lower than I expect. So an 8 would not shock me.

7 or 8. Hope we lose in the 1st round.

 

[cats#1again]

They were 35-5 bad for sure.

They may have been but I don't remember anyone going into that tournament picking them to win it. The committee helped them that season and screwed west Virginia.
