My first thought as I have to run out the door is "whoa... SC an 8 seed in UConn's regional? interesting"

I'm sure there are other interesting pieces that I'll check out when I get home!

Aack, projecting another Louisville-Baylor showdown. Holy grudge matches, Batman. But, hey, if it does come to pass it might take the spotlight off UConn-ND for a while

Cute. Arizona St (Eckmark) vs UCONN in Albany.

I actually wouldn't mind that bracket.

Notre Dame/Mississippi State/Stanford would be a brutal regional...very good coaches there. I also hope Oregon State doesn't get stuck in Albany...would love to see them play in a regional where they'd have a realistic shot of making the Final Four.

SC in another UConn Bracket. Ouuch

Just noticed that both Cal ( Berkeley) and Stanford would be hosting first and second round games. If they played those on different days that would put 6 view able NCAA playoff games within a 35 mile radius. A WCBB junkies dream.

I dont think Louisville will be a #1 seed..... too many potential potholes for them.

Kinda like when Duke and that other school 8 miles down the road hosted on different days. In 2014 it happened and NC State just missed the cut for hosting by being a 5 seed. Now THAT would have been insane.

SC, a 8 Seed. that is how much credibility this bracketing has. We should just all ignore it from now on.

Where would you seed them? Kentucky's a 5 and have been much more impressive.

I do not know, i just see a unreasonable one and pointed it out. I would work harder if I am paid to work out a bracket. To be seeded as an 8 seed in a strongest 1 seed bracket is a weakest 8 seed, which means it ranks below 30.

Have any BYers ever compared this guy's initial bracketing to the actual committee bracket for a given season?

He's probably just looking at Massey for now. SC is in the 30's there. Then again Mississippi State is #2 in Massey and he has them as a low 2 seed so maybe not.

I never want to see Stanford in the same regional as ND ever again. Get Tara the heck away from us!

You surely don't want them in 2019-20.

Doing bracketology in early December is like predicting what musical instrument a child will play when they're only a fetus in the first trimester.

Simile of the decade!

SC is 4 - 4, ranked #22. Baylor rolled them on their home court. Seeded 8th is not unreasonable. You can debate it but SC is no better than a 7 seed right now. If SC falls out of the Top 25, which is possible, an 8 seed would be a gift.

 

[Ozimoto]

Hopefully this holds and ND is on the other side of the bracket. Much rather play them in the final game rather than the semi-final. Of course, have to get to the final game...

Dosen't that set the fear chills running down your spine? Think of all those three's in the air? \

Beats Chicago for you guys, for sure.
