Bracket Reveal top 16

HuskyHawk said:
We can argue about this all day. With the exception of blowing out Marquette we’ve been a fairly ugly basketball team, even when we win, for months. I think that factors in. Today was more of the same. If we shoot even “ok” we win by 24.

Just keep winning and it won’t matter.

I pay some attention to the rankings, but not much. If the Huskies play well they will win most of the times and if they win a lot everything else will take care of itself. Go back to 2002 when the Huskies were not ranked in the TOP 25 at any point in the year, or maybe once, but when they won the BE tourny that year and a had good BE regular season record, I knew they would get a #2 seed. Damn, I wish they had a betting website where I could have put $ on it. I don't always get it right, but that one I did ;);)
 
Looking at the consensus teams in the 4-7 seed range (i.e. Bracket Matrix), there are a bunch of Big 12, Big Ten, and Big East teams who will play each other or another highly rated conference opponent. This means it will sort itself out over the next two weeks.
 
lunardi currently has us 5 in the East.

if we had to choose, better to be the 5 seed in the East, or a 4 seed elsewhere?

I remember the Big East kicking the shart out of some of these top Big 12 teams.

We all know the Big 12 is the best conference this year but you can easily make a case the Big East is second best. It's certainly second best at the top.
Expand ...
I remain astonished by the number of Big Ten teams they predict to get in. Lunardi has 9 Big Ten teams. Providence would be the 3rd best team in that league. It should be a six bid league at best. The SEC certainly doesn't deserve 8 nor does the Big 12. He has the ACC and Big East with 5. None of it makes any sense.

This makes a ton of sense, but unfortunately I don't think it makes much of a difference for us. If the committee is placing a major emphasis on road wins against tournament teams we won't stack up well at all.

who do you think deserves to get more teams in out of curiosity? I find myself annoyed at the amount of teams from the ACC and big 10 that they are letting in but i certainly dont want more pac12 teams in the tournament. When looking at teams on the outside looking in that i think are dangerous, i cant really come up with anything besides texas tech

whether a win is home or away is already used to determine what quadrant it falls into, so how can the committee use that factor twice? a quad 1 win is a quad 1 win, once that is established it shouldnt matter if it was home or away.

The committee can do whatever they want, unfortunately.
 
I haven't paid attention to this but how do the seeds they have the Big East teams at right now make sense?

Indiana was one of those joke teams they had ahead of us.

We should leapfrog them easily with a win.

Yeah my initial thought is we jump Indiana/Xavier and really close the gap on Iowa State

They don't. It's a bit of "That Creighton's so hot right now".

Thanks for doing this.

Virginia just lost to BC by 15, and they only beat ND by 2 and Louisville by 3. They should not be in the top 16 anymore.

Miami's been hot, too. I'd think us and them should be replacing Xavier and IU as of now on the 4 line. Marquette and Gonzaga probably replacing Iowa State and UVA on the 3 line.

Further up, K-State might be swapping with Baylor, as well. All subject to go absolutely bats--t crazy between now and Selection Sunday, of course. Love me some bracketology.

Just keep winning...

Since release up through SJU game. Bold is a loss. Italics is ongoing or later tonight.

1. Alabama: Georgia, USC, ARK
2. Houston: Memphis, Tulane, ECU
3. Purdue: OSU, IU
4. Kansas: Baylor, TCU, WVU
5. Texas: Oklahoma, ISU, Baylor
6. Arizona: Colorado, ASU
7. Baylor: Kansas, KSU, Texas
8. UCLA: Cal, Utah
9. Tennessee: Kentucky, Texas A&M, SC
10. Virginia: ND, BC, UNC
11. Iowa State: KSU, Texas, OU
12. Kansas State: ISU, Baylor, OKST
13. Indiana: Illinois, MSU, Purdue
14. Marquette: Creighton, DePaul
15. Gonzaga: Pepperdine, USD, SMC
16. Xavier: DePaul, Nova, SHU

Miami: Wake, Va Tech, FSU
Creighton: SJU, Marquette, Nova
SMU: BYU, PAC, Gonzaga
UConn: SHU, PC, SJU

I think I got them all.

I would move them around like this not in order:
1: Bama, Houston, Purdue, Kansas
2: UCLA, Texas, Zona, KSU
3: Baylor, Marquette, ISU, Zags
4: SMU, UConn, Indiana, X
5: Tennessee, Miami, UVA, Creighton/ISU/SDSU

Figure UVA, ISU and UT all drop down to the four seed line or further, only Marquette and KSU are set to move up to at least three seeds. UVA deserves to drop a full seed just by losing to BC, losing to UNC just drops them a few more spots.

If it was as close as committee hinted, I'm split on UConn, Zags and SMU seem poised to get the 12. If I were a betting man I would say UConn is 14 right now with winner and loser of Zag/SMU game splitting 12-13 right now. Possibly UConn at 13, but unless SMU wins can't see UConn higher than that and then it's a toss-up how the committee rates SMU compared to UConn.

IU/Purdue, Houston/ECU, Depaul/Marquette and Zags/SMU still to go tonight.

You hammer Tennessee for going 1-2 but leave ISU who went 0-3?

Also I was confused by SMU, but I figured you mean St Marys

Nope, I had ISU in there twice. Moved them to the end of the five line with Creighton and SDSU but forgot to remove them from the three line. I hammered Tennessee, ISU and UVA. Remove them from the three and move everyone up a spot, though if Indiana holds on I could actually see them jumping to the three line even with the loss, win at Purdue would be huge.

Was lazy when typing and yes meant St. Mary's.
 
Are they going to do another reveal or is that just a one time thing until the actual field gets announced?
