Bracketology - week of Mar 2 thru 15

So this morning BYU is the first team out. Both Nebraska and Richmond remain as the last four in.

I'm wondering if Charlie cream is using the Huskers and spiders is placeholders because neither in my view should be dancing.

However Delaney Gibbs and the Cougars definitely should be dancing.

Edit

So this whole Richmond and Nebraska placement has really had my head spinning.

Based on what I saw yesterday does the loser of the Mountain West championship have a case to be made? Or even San diego? Are either one of those two options more deserving than Richmond?

What about the WCC? I'm headed over there for the semis and if chalk holds what about the loser of a Gonzaga LMU championship game? What is Scott gets his Beavers into the championship game and losesI

know I'd love to see Loree Payne dance. If the Broncos upset Gonzaga do they have a case regardless of you outcome of the championship game?

I'm getting a little Rodney Dangerfield about the WCC and Mountain West

I'm also wondering if anyone has any insight about the placement of ASU by Creme. Are they actually going to College Park? The matchup against Virginia would be interesting

What were the biggest things we learned on Championship Sunday? Which teams might have benefited most from Champ Week so far? Which résumés took a hit? Let's take a deeper look at Champ Week, how it will shape the bracket and what can be expected on Selection Sunday.
Should UConn or UCLA be the overall No. 1? The Bruins' metrics -- 18 Quad 1 wins, the top wins above bubble number, the best strength of schedule -- suggest they should be first. However, the Huskies have sat in that spot all season and remain the nation's lone unbeaten team. More significantly, the NCAA selection committee put UConn at No. 1 overall in both of its top-16 reveals this season. At the time of each of those announcements -- Feb. 14 and March 1 -- UCLA also held an advantage in those metrics -- and the committee still went with the Huskies.
Nothing has changed on that front. Essentially, the committee has already spoken here, and UConn has been the consistent choice. The only element that has changed: The Bruins are now the Big Ten regular-season and tournament champions, with a Big Ten tournament finals performance that was near perfect, beating Iowa by 51 points. If the committee decides to change its mind and flip UConn and UCLA, that will have to be the rationale, not the numbers.
 
Lady Vols holding steady at that #8 Seed. Meanwhile, North Dakota State are on the outside looking through the window.
 

No update to top 16, so no new grid. No changes to the groups of four below:

LAST FOUR BYES (Last teams to skip the First Four round) - Iowa State, USC, Colorado, Clemson
LAST FOUR IN (Last teams to make the field overall) - Virginia, Arizona St, Nebraska, Richmond
FIRST FOUR OUT (Teams ranked 69-72 that missed the cut) - BYU, Utah, N Dakota St, Texas A&M
NEXT FOUR OUT (Teams ranked 73-76 that missed the cut) - Mississippi St, Stanford, Kansas St, Indiana

And here comes my reckless at flea that the committee considers the full body of work at BYU as well as the sour taste left on the court in the final games by the Conhuskers and the Spiders.

Delaney Gibb and Nate's have demonstrated that they're danceworthy.

Well Charlie Creme seems confident as you will face off with Virginia and College Park I think the fans would really rather see ASU face off against BYU in fort Worth.

I know I know it violates all types of conventions and guidelines. But I know Molly Miller would like another crack at them
 
Committee can consider whatever they want, but when it comes down to 2 teams that are close, I think that if head-to-head is on the table, it should be the #1 consideration.

Doesn't mean I'd leave ASU out, but BYU > ASU.
