I don’t think the trend matters as much as the overall body of work. I’d have been surprised if Duke got the overall #1 but Auburn deciding to lose 5 games at the end of the season could allow it.So let’s say Duke wins the ACC Championship tonight, with Auburn’s slight downward trend the past week or two, will that push Duke to overall #1? Granted if UofL wins I still think Auburn still holds the spot.
Exactly. Will the committee look at those as a reason not to award the overall #1?I don’t think the trend matters as much as the overall body of work. I’d have been surprised if Duke got the overall #1 but Auburn deciding to lose 5 games at the end of the season could allow it.
My understanding is they no longer consider how hot you are. My guess is they could heavily lean on KP and advanced analytics to go with Duke.Exactly. Will the committee look at those as a reason not to award the overall #1?
I understand quad 1 wins and body of work, but I just don't get how Auburn should be the #1 overall seed. The question should be asked... do they look like the best team in college basketball? I don't think they do, and one could argue that they lost a significant amount of mojo the past couple weeks. They look like a very good team, as opposed to the best team. If they are as good as the media say they are, they should not be losing so many games down the stretch.
Correct, they no longer consider your last 10.My understanding is they no longer consider how hot you are. My guess is they could heavily lean on KP and advanced analytics to go with Duke.
They have lost 3 of their last 4 games heading into the NCAA Tournament. Does that sound like a team deserving of the #1 overall seed? I don't think that is typically just waved off and excused for any team.Who in your opinion is better?
Who you lost to matters though. Otherwise Gonzaga would be the #1 seed almost every yearAuburn has lost three games in the last two weeks. Duke has lost three all season.
You are 100% right. My above is just stating who think the actual best team is. Out of everyone in the field, I'd want to play Auburn the least, followed by Florida and Houston. I said last night that I didn't think Alabama was capable of winning it all.They have lost 3 of their last 4 games heading into the NCAA Tournament. Does that sound like a team deserving of the #1 overall seed? I don't think that is typically just waved off and excused for any team.
I agree. Duke wins tonight they get the overall #1. If not, and UofL wins it’ll go to Houston.I think it will now go to Duke or Houston
Might have had another one of those team fights.I agree. Duke wins tonight they get the overall #1. If not, and UofL wins it’ll go to Houston.
Auburn isn’t the team they were a month or two ago. It’s not injuries, but something has happened, or they simply have believed their own hype and phoned it it. However I would be surprised to see them in the Final Four as well.
Duke can have the overall 1 now. I don't think they win it all with Flagg out couple weeks. They might make it to the E8 cause they always cake walk.I don’t think the trend matters as much as the overall body of work.

“Plane ride from he11!”Might have had another one of those team fights.
They reported today that he’s back for the NCAAT. I imagine they kept him out as a precaution. I still don’t want to play Duke, being honestDuke can have the overall 1 now. I don't think they win it all with Flagg out couple weeks. They might make it to the E8 cause they always cake walk.
I mind who we play; I just wish we were healthy.They reported today that he’s back for the NCAAT. I imagine they kept him out as a precaution. I still don’t want to play Duke, being honest

Bracket Matrix has Florida a 1It will be interesting with UF because I don't think they are currently on the 1 line and we've heard time and time and time again the games on Sunday do not matter. So well see.
beating 3 ranked teams, 2 in the top 10, would be a much bigger achievement for #2 uf than #1 duke winning the acc.So let’s say Florida decimates Tennessee tomorrow…will that leap-frog them to the overall #1????
Admittedly Florida is my pick for National Champion. They’re looking fantastic. However being a one-and-done tournament anything cam can happen.beating 3 ranked teams, 2 in the top 10, would be a much bigger achievement for #2 uf than #1 duke winning the acc.
I hear you, but I disagree. Ordering of the losses should matter. They are objectively on a downward trajectory, and that indicates a trend. 28-5 is a great record, but it isn't even the best record in the SEC right now, today. How can they be as dominant as people suggest and unquestionably #1 with that being true?28-5 in a historically good SEC should mean an awful lot.
I think a fully healthy Duke, Florida, and Houston are all better. But they're not more deserving if you look at total body of work. It's kind of the college football playoff argument; what's the criteria, best team or most deserving?Who in your opinion is better?
The point Answer is making though is that trajectory and last ten games are no longer considered. The committee will compare resume vs full resume and that’s allI hear you, but I disagree.

16 quad 1s vs 9 (If Duke wins tonight)
Best conf of all time vs crappy ACC
Sunday games don’t count, it’s provenSo let’s say Florida decimates Tennessee tomorrow…will that leap-frog them to the overall #1????
