This is how I would do it, not necessarily how the committee would.

I honestly had no idea which team was us until I looked it up. Still, a 4 seed is where we belong right now. We haven't beaten enough good teams to be higher. Maybe after the Big 12 tournament, we could slide up.

Pro tip: We're 9-1 in our last 10.

Yeah, well, that is a completely meaningless stat to me and I gave it absolutely zero credit when seeding teams.

Think you're missing the point here, but that's ok. I appreciate your honesty and hope the committee likes the cats more than you do.

I would have us as a 3 seed with a win in Stillwater, fwiw. I'd probably drop us to a 5 with a loss.

I also acknowledged that my rankings were not what I thought the committee would do, only what they should do.

Fair enough, friend  :cheers:

Blind seeding is always kind of a fun thing to try out.    Its tough when you got 26 teams you are looking at

For me, Its hard to seed teams just off a blind resume because, take Indiana and N Mexico for example. Indiana has 7 top 50 wins. NM has 8.

But when you look at who Indiana beat.  I put my current seed projection in ( ).    They beat Mich (2) Gtown (2), Mich St twice (3) Ohio St (4)
UNC (7) and Minn (10).    Then u look at who NM beat.  Unlv (5) Col St twice (8), SD St (9) Cincy (10), Boise St twice (12) and UConn (Not eligible).   Clearly Indiana's wins are better than NM.

That's a really good point, but I think it will most likely work itself out after the conference tournaments. Looking at blind resumes is the absolute best way to seed a tournament if you are trying to get the most deserving teams the best seeds. It's not quite as good if you are trying to give the best seeds to the best teams.
