Bracketology

[BRS24]

Last bracketology of the month. Utah & UNC up, ND & MI down, welcome FSU.

Charlie’s methods always amaze. Why on earth is tOSU even on the second line for him? Those weren’t fluke losses, 3 in a row.

Who seeded lower than Ohio State has a better resume? Massey has them ranked 7th.

Is the committee doing an early reveal this year? At this point last year they had already done the first one.

MD is the obvious one for me, but also ISU, Duke and UNC. Massey also expects tOSU to lose 2-3 more games in the regular season. I'm not sure that's a clear endorsement.

Thanks for posting. Last year playing Indiana in the sweet 16 was brutal (atleast on paper) It's interesting that currently Notre Dame, Maryland are currently 3 seeds. If LSU can split with SC, if they play in the sec tourney, and only have 1 loss, they should be considered for a number 1 seed. I expect the big ten to kinda beat up on each other so I wonder if Indiana or Ohio State will get to be a 1 seed.

Jan 20 update ... same teams as Jan 17, with only regional changes. No up or down seeds.

This would be a great bracket for everyone except South Carolina. I think the one match up they don't want is Iowa. They have size and they have Clark. I really think if UCONN wins all except SC they will be a 1 but they match up good with Stanford.

Looking at the latest bracket (2/3), SC would probably face tOSU or ND. Stanford gets Iowa in its regional, or maybe Duke, and neither game looks to be competitive. Indiana has the most interesting path, possibly facing Iowa St or NC St in the sweet sixteen and Utah, UNC or even Villanova in the Elite Eight.

UConn has an almost comical regional this time around with MD, FSU and LSU — gee thanks, Charlie. We could actually end up having to play 2 of them. All it would take to round out this group would be Georgia, hahaha. But seriously, the intriguing result for us could be playing Arizona in the elite eight.

If Azzi is able to return, UCONN should be a #1, if not, likely they'll drop to a #2, which isn't that much a big deal!

Arizona won’t make the elite 8. They really aren’t very good.

They have only played 6 quad one games; going 2 and 4. They lost to Quad 2 Kansas. Washington State beat them. They have only beaten over ranked Quad One teams, Oregon and Baylor.

No, kidding. But it will be interesting in part because we lost to them in the final four two years ago. It's not always about the data.
