Syracuse would be a terrible match-up. I'm glad this is just some dumb January bracket.
I've said it on here the last 2 years, but Lundardi (especially in late Jan-mid Feb) really isn't that accurate.
He has Cal as a 8 seed. They are 4-2 and have 5 losses overall. Their SOS is 88 and they have 2 top 50 wins (Oregon and a Stanford who he barely has in). He has Ucla as a 7 seed. They are 3-2 and have 4 losses overall. Their SOS is 24 but their only quality win is at Colorado. And Texas is an 8 seed. They are 4-2 with 4 losses, and their SOS is 54 and their 2 top 50 wins are Isu and Kstate.
We are 4-2 and our SOS is 32, and we have 4 wins in the top 35. And he has us below all 3 of those teams
Ohio st getting a 6 seed is also pretty generous right now. They are 15-4 and have no significant wins (only top 50 win is N Dakota) and the Buckeyes are 2-4 right now in the Big 10.
Yes this is late Jan bracket..... and things will change numerous times over the next 6-7 weeks...... and as of today I would have us as a 7 seed with he Big 12 having 7 seeds teams in
