The Top 16

[Dokey]

This is what I would guess now:

1. Bay
2. Ore (+1)
3. Lou (-1)
4. UConn (+1)
5. ND (+1)
6. Miss St (-2)
7. Stan
8. NC St
9. Iowa (+1)
10. Marq (-1)
11. Md
12. Mia (+4)
13. Ore St (-1)
14. So Car (-1)
15. Ariz St <- new
16. Iowa St (-1)

Stanford too high, having watched many of their games, recognizing that Pac 12 is a tough conference so maybe...I would move Miami higher. How they played a month ago has little to do with their play now.

Florida State was never in the Big East, Florida State became a member of the ACC in 1991 and came from the Metro Conference (see link below). That screen capture in my previous post was taken from WarrenNolan.com. I am aware of Maryland left the ACC for the Big10. The old Big East also lost West Virginia to the Big12 and Rutgers to the Big10

Thanks for the correction!

Stanford too high,

Who has a better resume than Stanford? (Besides the 6.)

There's a pretty big resume gap between the top 7 and everyone else. It would take a bunch to knock the Card down to a 3 seed. Miami, SoCar could possibly run the table and move ahead of Stan, but not a lot more.

Uconn jumps Louisville to #3,

What would happen if Miami were to win the ACC?
Could this alter the seeding of both ND & Louisville...what do others think.

If Miami wins the ACC regular season, it probably means nothing unless ND or Louisville lose another game. If Miami wins the ACC tournament, then Notre Dame and Louisville could both end up as two seeds with Mississippi State getting the 4th one seed. There would be a lot of moving parts and uncertainty in that scenario.

The ACC has evolved into the "old Big East".

I didn't realise how awful Duke has been this year. Wow

Technical Foul on Reypl21

Upgraded to a Flagrant 2 ..

If Miami wins ACC Tournament and no other big 6 team lost then I believe ACC would have 3 number 2 seeds but no number 1 seed.

If SC runs the table, then Mississippi State is cleared out, too, as they would lose both the SEC Regular Season and Tournament.

Bubbling under:

• TAMU
• Knky
• AzSt
• Syra
• FlSt
• Texa
• Mich

 

[Vowelguy]

So ... who is #2?

Lou, UConn, ND all have a legit argument

Ultimately, the ACC winner likely gets the #2 and Chicago.
ACC loser can get a #1 if Ore doesnt win PAC, tho they'd be fighting with MsSt and possibly an improbably Stan
Hebard's longterm status will also surely factor.

 

[FridaFriend]

Miami lost to VT 73-65

 

[Bear11]

I say UConn, but Louisville likely passes them if they win out and the ACC tournament.

 

[bbballfan23]

 

[bbballfan23]

This would be best case for UConn. All the bigs on the other side. I’ll take our chances with Louisville for a 2nd matchup in the FF

 

[Vowelguy]

This seems like a particularly bad take by Creme.

 

[Plebe]

This seems like a particularly bad take by Creme.

Again, I think he's misunderstanding the committee's rationale for having put Notre Dame in Greensboro in the 1st reveal. He IMO misconstrued that as a geography decision, and so he's sending Mississippi State to Greensboro for "geography."

 

[bennyskid]

This must be how he sees it if the season were to end today. It's hard to see two ACC teams on the 1-line at the end, unless MSSt trips.

 

[triaddukefan]

Replace UConn with Baylor, and move that Albany region to the Greensboro region.... thats what I want to see

 

[Vowelguy]

Right now I'd say it's

BAY / LOU / CT / ND // ​

ORE / MSST / STAN / NCS // ​

MD / ORST / IA / SC //​

MIA / MARQ / GONZ / IAST​

​

NY: CT / MSST / ORST / MIA [32]​

NC: BAY / NCS / MD / MARQ [34]​

IL: LOU / STAN / IA / IA ST [36]​

OR: ND / ORE / SC / GONZ [36]​

Though I think the committee will work very very hard to avoid ND-Ore
