NCAA second seeding reveal

[jaydee602]

NC State is already a 2 seed. It would take a team currently projected at a 3 seed or below to knock LSU off the 2 seed line.

I guess the next question is: Could NC State surpass LSU as the 3rd #2 seed? If NC State wins the ACC Tournament & LSU gets defeated in the SEC tourney, is that enough to move the Wolfpack past LSU?

Before you rewrite history on you getting flak, the issue was when we beat SCar, you stated "at a minimum we went ahead of SC". Which many of us pointed out, "No, we did not leapfrog SC" and last night's reveal proved just that-SC's resume is still better than ours. Could we still achieve a #1 seed, yes we could, will we? Probably not but at least now there is slight possibility. Ultimately your issue seems to be a refusal on acknowledging how the committee actually works vs. how YOU want it to work. Nothing about last night's reveal suggests you are right. It merely suggests due to bad losses by others, we are back in the conversation.

It’s official. You win the Beating a Dead Horse award.

I am pleased that you do acknowledge the more relevant aspect of my argument that UConn is “in the hunt for a #1 seed.” Congratulations on covering all the bases.

My guess for seedings right now is:
1. UCLA (R1)
2. Texas (R2)
3. USC (R3)
4. South Carolina (R4)
5. Notre Dame (R4)
6. UCONN (R3)
7. LSU (R1)
8. NC State (R2)

UCLA/Texas are pretty safely on the one line, both can absorb losses in the conference tournaments and not have to sweat. UCLA can lose to USC in both the regular season finale and B10 and be safely on the 1 line.

As long as USC only loses to UCLA the rest of the way they’re on the 1 line. Even with 2 more losses I think they’re okay but likely drop to #4 overall.

South Carolina solidifies a 1 seed winning the SEC Tournament. Playing in SC gives them a big advantage over Texas/LSU.

Notre Dame needs to win out to have a shot at a 1. If they win ACCT and South Carolina loses, I think ND gets the last 1 seed.

UCONN is still on the outside looking in, but if Notre Dame loses in the ACCT and South Carolina drops to someone other than Texas, I think UCONN could sneak up to #4.

LSU’s loss last night I think eliminates them from being a #1, but they’re safely a 2. Even if they beat both Texas/SC in the SECT I think they’re at best the top #2 seed which means a date with USC or Notre Dame.

By the way, those who have been wondering about how much the NET rankings matter for the seedings should take note that NC State at #19 in the NET has been overall #8 in each of the two reveals.

NC St now in an interesting position.

Months ago we talked about #1 seeds being:

1- Big10 champ
2- SEC champ
3- ACC Champ
4- one of UConn/Big12 champ/bestP4#2team

Well NC St still has a chance to be both ACC reg season champ and tourney champ. They apparently have too many other losses, but they would also then have a decent claim for a #1 seed.

ND opened the door wide for the Wolfpack.

Lots left to play for this weekend and in conference tourneys.
