Look if they wanna make the final four this year I'm about ten minutes away lol
We're currently the last 5-seed on the Matrix, with just 51 brackets included. Nothing updated since the 10th though.
Rest of B1G with overall seed included:
Illinois - 3 seed, 9 overall
Oregon - 3, 12
Michigan St - 4, 15
Michigan - 5, 19
Purdue - 5, 20
Wisconsin - 6, 21
UCLA - 6, 22
Nebraska - 8, 32
Maryland - 9, 36
Ohio St - 10, 39
Indiana - 11 (play-in), 44
Penn State 5th out
Iowa 9th out
Conversely, the SEC is just crazy good right now. 7 in the top 11 overall. 13 in the field currently, with one more 4th out.

Weird that they would have us in the second round against Ole Miss. I thought for seeding rules they tried to avoid those games until 3rd round and beyond
Really just first round because they try not to predict winners. Also, you get into it and it's hard to avoid all the rematches that might be in there. Especially with 13 SEC teams.
Oregon drops, IU doesn’t make it, Michigan moves up, ucla prob moves down (esp if they don’t figure it out soon). Not sure about Ohio state—good enough to be in top 5 of B1G but also bad enough to be in bottom half.
Their general principle (not a firm rule) when concerning a rematch in the tournament is to take the number of times the teams played during the season and add one. That’s the earliest round a rematch could occur. So for teams that have played once, they could matchup in the second round. If they’ve played twice, they can matchup in the third round (S16). Again, not a firm rule, but that’s the guidance they’ve followed in the past.
