I have to assume this is what the "almost" referred to.

Regardless, this is the danger of losing winnable games and falling onto the 6/7 line. Not only are you dismissed as an also-ran, but you're likely to be at a geographic disadvantage (e.g. vs. Wisconsin in Milwaukee).

lol I realize this is only one scenario of many but what a bitch that seeding would be.

Pitt, Wisconsin, Nova, Syracuse. Almost a former Big East gauntlet

At this point we are not better than Pitt who just lost to FSU at home even though they lost 5 of last seven many were close unlike our bad losses, so unless we turn around that type of seeding is likely.
 
Palm has us a 6 seed, playing Duke in the 2nd round if we advance. In Raleigh.
 
There is a ways to go before any seeding gets finalized so all of this while fun is pretty meaningless. We'll be somewhere between a 6 and a 9 seed, maybe a 4 if we win the AAC tourney. Who we play, what region is highly dependent on what we and everyone else does over the next 2-3 weeks. The only thing I can guarantee is that none of these projections is accurate at the moment. There will be tournament upsets in the mid-majors that bring unknowns, and there will be upsets in the major conferences that result in unexpected teams getting in and unexpected teams getting left out.
 
What I really care about is, what is our seed if we split Louisville and Cincy and win the rest, plus one game in the conference tourney? To me that is the most likely scenario.

The way I see it we're locked into the tougher seeding at this point, anywhere from 6-9 which would likely mean playing the 1, 2, or 3 seed in the round of 32. That's the reality IMO.

If by some miracle we win out and win a couple games in the AAC tourney maybe we could climb to a 4 or 5 and get out of it but that's a big if.
 
Ville is a 5 seed. He is crazy. In the polls they are 7 and 4. No respect for the American.
 
I have a hard time seeing us beat Cinci or L'ville. I think we are what we are - the 4th or 5th best team in the AAC. Of course we can beat almost anyone on a good day, but as we've proven, we can lose to almost anyone (and look crappy while doing it) on a bad day...

Polls mean nothing. Ville has 3 Top 50 wins. They have 4 Top 50 loses.

Their RPI is 27 and SOS is 103.

That looks like a 5 seed to me, it has nothing to do with what conference they are in.

As a comparison we have an RPI of 30, SOS of 63 and are 3-5 vs the Top 50.

Our best win is the #3 RPI Florida, theirs is #19 Cincy. Their non conference SOS is 163, ours is 67.

You can argue our resume is better thus we should have a higher seed.

Polls mean zero

Connecticut will likely be a 5 - 6 when its all said and done IMO.

I also think either Creighton/Villanova will get a #1 seed if they both sweep the Big East and perform as expected in the BET. Most likely Creighton but Nova has a fair shot.
