Wasn't Wisky a higher seed each time they beat us?

[Powercat Posse]

Alright.  Almost exactly 7 days away until Selection Sunday.   Here is Posse's latest projections =

     1  seed   ---   2  seed   ---   3  seed   ---   4  seed
______________________________________________
1. Duke           5. Gtown          9. Mich         13. Marq
2. Ind              6. KU             10. N Mex       14. KState
3. Gonz           7. Miami          11. Flor          15. Arizona
4. Lville           8. Mich St        12. Ohio St     16. OK St


We need to cheer against those 3 seeds and Marquette in the upcoming conf tourneys.   As long as we beat Texas, i feel completely safe we dont fall below a 4 seed. 

  5  seeds  --  6  seeds  --  7  seeds  --  8  seeds 
________________________________________
Syracuse         UNLV         Col St          Cal
St Louis         Butler         VCU             NC State
Pitt                UCLA          N Carolina    Creighton     
Wiscy             N Dame      Memphis      SD State 


I have OU and Iowa St both as 10 seeds. Horrible loss by OU yday.   Still think Baylor needs a win over OK St to sneak in.
Mr Bread, a bunch of 9-10 seed teams lost this week, so I still have your Illinois squad as a 9 seed.  Those strong wins vs Gonz Ind and Mich St  will get you in the dance.     

[MeatSauce]

where did you have New Mex and Syr before yday?

Lutardi has ku as a 1 Bc they beat Belmont, cu, temple and Richmond at home.  He has kstate as a 4 Bc we beat 4 otherwise completely anonymous teams at home. Moral of the story, schedule lots of shifty teams who schedule good teams who also schedule good teams.  #rpi

Other than head to head, why is KU going to be a higher seed than us?

The above and apparently good road wins are more helpful than bad losses are hurtful.

[Powercat Posse]

I dont think KU is a 1 seed right now.   They have tons of top 50 wins.   Lville's worst loss is to rpi 51 Nova.    Lville's other 4 losses are to RPI top 50 teams by a combined 12 points.    They play in better conference, they went 14-4 just like KU.   Lville also has a top 10 SOS

Gtown also went 14-4 and had 5 total losses.  They are hotter than almost any team around winning 13 of 14 including sweeping Syracuse, beating Lville and Marquette.     I just feel these 2 teams are slightly ahead of KU in the pecking order right now.    I feel KU likely needs to win the P66 to be a 1 seed

LOL at Joey Brackets. He had KU as a 1 seed. Then less than 24 hrs later, he puts them as a 2 seed and Lville as a 1 seed.  Funny, I made my case why Lville should be the 4th 1 seed. I think that SOB Lunardi is reading goEMAW.  Hey Joey, if u are gonna steal info, give gE their credit.

would take, i guess. making a big 12 run and moving up to a 3 seed would be great.

[kslim]

we are a lock to play in KC after winning the ship right?

[Powercat Posse]

Would rather be a 3 seed. 2 seeds lose a lot more to 7/10 seeds than 1 seeds lose to 8/9.

In fact, the 10 seed has an amazing record vs 2 seeds.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Nope.

[HerrSonntag]

I don't know, i kinda want to stay a 4, if it means keeping the KC Draw... if KU chokes under pressure and doesn't get back to a 1 seed, they'd take up the 2/3 slot at the KC tournament and we'd get shipped out to San Jose or some place losery.

I love this bracket
                  -A Big East/Big 12 showdown on the second day in KC would be the most TSC thing ever
                  -Gonzaga is by far the 1 seed I want to share a bracket with and the rest of that region is pretty pud
     

[kso_FAN]

At this point a 4 in Kansas City would be great. If we manage to win a couple in KC and end up as a 3 that would be gravy. IMHO

you don't understand how placement for the first 2 rounds works do you?

You beat me to it...I can't believe people still don't understand the pod system...it isn't a new thing anymore.

[PowercatPat]

Do not want to play Cuse in the 2nd round again. Ideal scenario would be a 3 seed in KC playing a pud 6 seed like UNLV in the 2nd round.

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

Yeah holy crap how about we play someone not named Syracuse or Wisconsin in the 2nd round? So sick of this.

[scottwildcat]

agreed but I think I would prefer to play Gonzaga over the other 1s?


but i REALLY want a 3 seed.

[AbeFroman]

Do not want to play Cuse in the 2nd round again.

Weber wouldn't let Boheim clownsuit him like Frank did.
