Brackets 2017...yup already

[husky99]

NCAAM Bracketology - ESPN

 

[UconnFanDC]

Yes, I see they have Uconn as a 6 seed, Cincy as a 9 and SMU as a 7. I hope that we turn out better than a 6 seed and exceed expectations

Unbelievable. it's getting like Sam's Club along with Costco's displaying Halloween in May, Thanksgiving in June and Xmas in August.

Yes, except no one displays Thanksgiving anymore. Skip to Xmas in June. @August_West should be very happy.

Phase 1 of master plan complete.
Phase 2: destroy Turkey as food source. Im thinking some food borne pathogen scare may do the trick.

LOL, forgot about the Turkey. Sorry. I know you have had your fill of turkey. Good news is I admit turkey is not my favorite the last few years. Don't worry I got your back in November.

These bracketology threads don't mean anything... but just for fun, let's look at last year's around this time:

2016 Bracketology: Lunardi

And then in August:
2015-2016 ESPN Bracketology

Lunardi had us as a 10 seed in August and he wasn't far off despite many of us here blasting him. Including this gem from a notoriously awful poster:

Just saw this. Crazy! This team is the most talented since 08-09. We will be a 6 seed at the WORST. I could see us being as high as a 2 or 3.

Hmmm, didn't you hear:

U.S. May turkey slaughter drops as bird flu decimates flocks: USDA

Seems your Project Mayhem minions have already put your plan into action @August_West or should I say @Tyler_Durden?

This was the most talented team since 09. They just couldn't put it together. Chemistry matters.

Nope.

No. Just no. Looking back, the 2014 team was more talented than this year's team. There is not one player on this year's team that I would take over Shabazz, Boat or DeAndre. The 2012 team had 3 NBA players on it, while this year's team has 1, maybe 2 at the very best. The 2011 team had more talent. This year's team was overrated by a lot of people on here.

IMO it was. 2014 was a better team, no doubt but talent wise, I'm not so sure. 2011 was not even close to as talented as this team. Keep in mind there is a big difference between how talented a team is and how good a team actually is. 2011 and 2014 were 10x better teams, I just think this year's roster had more talent on it.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Given our current roster, I would sign up for a 6 seed right now. Perfect seed to make some noise in the dance.

About as accurate as your declaration that no 10 loss AAC would ever make the tournament.......

The 2011 team, a National Championship winner with 3 eventual first round draft picks, is not even close to as talented as this team.

JimOllie everyone. It's awe inspiring on some level.

Even for a sports message board, the level to which this guy will argue against actual facts using his own opinions is incredible.

This is an epically horrible take

Not to mention the 2012 team. That teams second string had more talent than most teams.
