Geez, who knew Triad could be so temperamental! In fairness to conferences and individual team strength, UConn, ACC winner (ND?) and PAC12 winner will be #1 seeds. Only caveat is if the PAC12 beat each other up so much the winner has 4 losses. Then the battle between MSU, Baylor or #2 ACC for the 4th #1 seed. Most assuredly a top ACC team will be in Greensboro. Is this the year they put SC local provided they can right the ship and be a top team...not looking like it at the moment.:rolleyes:

You know OSU and UO are going to be hungry to be placed in the Portland, OR, regional. Extra motivation for both teams to play their guts out come PAC-12 play. Stanford too for that matter (being on the west coast).
 
Welp....... Baylor people might wanna start looking into flights to NC

Now i wonder if Louisville will be the #2 in Greensboro now..... I was hoping to see Miss State here.... but looks like that won't happen.... unless ... perhaps they lose to South Carolina

If the Gamecocks win out, they may be the 2 seed in Greensboro. Yes, I'm an eternal optimist.

I think Louisville is still a #1 seed (and FWIW Creme has said the same thing).
 
The bigger question is who ends up being two seeds around the country.

I suspect Oregon gets a 1 seed even if the do lose one in the conference tournament and Baylor is a one seed somewhere because they breeze through a weak Big12 but the could well end up in Chi town.

With Louisville and Miss St both losing to unranked teams this week and Uconn having lost their two games, and ND and their losses ... the other two #1s and all the #2s are in play. I think Uconn ends up as the third or fourth #1 and I suspect either ND or Louisville will win out from here and get the 4th/3rd #1.

Most wide open seeding for the top two lines in a long time

I would like to see some combination of Miss State, NC State, Oregon State, Maryland, South Carolina, Baylor. With my luck... it will be something like Louisville, Marquette, Central Florida and Arizona State Head bang

Here’s an interesting thought to ponder: right now, as the ACC standings sit, Miami is #1, ND is #2 and Louisville is #3 so Louisville and ND would meet in the semi’s!

So here’s what I ask you (and anybody else), if ND wins out and beats Louisville in these Semi’s, and MSU wins out are the #1 Seeds Baylor, Oregon, UConn and MSU?

If ND wins out, they will overtake MSU and probably UConn as well.
I'm also not sure that Louisville drops behind UConn and MSU if they only lose to ND.

I don't think the ACC can get two 1 seeds anymore. Louisville or ND would probably be number 3 overall if they win out, with the other falling to 5 or 6. Louisville in particular doesn't have that much on the resume besides the win over UConn, and now they have a home loss. If they lose another I think they fall below UConn and end up in Albany or Portland.

My question is whether Baylor and Oregon are now in a position to absorb a hypothetical loss and still keep a top seed. I think yes, but I'd rather not put that to the test.

If you don't think Louisville has much on its resume other than the UConn win, I wonder what you think of UConn's resume other than the ND win, or MSU's resume *period*.

Louisville has 11 top 50 wins, which is a lot more than MSU or UConn have. If Louisville loses to no one other than ND from here on out, they'll have the clear edge in quality wins over both MSU and UConn. I think they would stay ahead of MSU, whose best win will have been over SC, and whether they would be ahead of UConn is very much up for debate.

Well if they lose one more, then UConn absolutely will be ranked ahead of them. UConn will end up being the only team with a top 5 road win among those on the 1-line. Winning away from home & on nuetral courts is something the committee looks at, also.

Yes, that is one data point the committee will look at, but not at the expense of everything else.
UConn will probably have 7 top 50 wins, whereas Louisville will likely have at least 12.
The committee also may consider the head to head, which Louisville would have over UConn.

Oregon is in a better position to absorb a loss and actually more likely to do so. They have one more game against Oregon St and the tourney left with more highly rated teams to contest against than Baylor would have. Baylor, except for some fluke , should end up with no more losses. Who is left on their schedule that presents any sort of threat to beat them? No one really.

Baylor is also the number 1 seed with the worst resume. They probably will be the 1st number 1 to lose in the NCAA tourney.
 
So UConn is definitely a 1 seed now with Miss St and Louisville both losing..Baylor, Oregon, UConn and who?

Baylor has the 6th best strength of schedule, and only Louisville is currently higher among projected 1 seeds.

Iowa State is known as a difficult place to win. Although Texas did win there earlier...

That's the only one that really concerns me. Iowa State is the type of team that could get hot and shoot like 65% from 3. An Iowa State win would go along way towards them hosting the first 2 rounds, so I expect their best shot.
 
If Baylor does end up in Greensboro.... some of the Bear fans should bring a kind fella a few pounds of Texas Brisket. In return... Ill promise to root for yall :cool:

Well looks like they already moved ahead of them. I could see them jumping UConn again, though if they win the ACC tournament. UConn now safe as a 1 seed, barring something crazy happening.

Whoever wins the ACC tournament if its between ND or Louisville. Unless, ND loses again tonight. What a crazy year!

ND ain't losing tonight. If state beats them, I'll drive to Raleigh... Buy a red state t-shirt... And a half pound cheese burger, fries, Dr pepper and a apple pie from Char-Grill.
