first off, I am not claiming to be some expert on brackets. I am however doing what a number of other people do and that's simply make an educated guess on the 5-6 teams for 3-4 spots. Thus the variance between "bracketologists" and ultimately the NCAA committee in most years.
Seed 1 - Kentucky, Villanova, Wiscy, Duke
Seed 2 - Arizona, Virginia, Gonzaga, Kansas
Seed 3 - ND, Maryland, Iowa State, Baylor
Seed 4 - UNC, Louisville, Northern Iowa (don't deserve), West Virginia
Seed 5 - Oklahoma, Arkansas, Wichita State, SMU*
Seed 6 - Michigan State*, Providence, Utah, Georgetown
Seed 7 - Butler, VCU, Oregon, SD State
Seed 8 - ST John, Iowa, X, Dayton
Seed 9 - Cincy, Purdue, Okie State, Ohio State
Seed 10 - Davidson, LSU, Texas, NC State
Seed 11 - Boise State, Georgia, Colorado State, Indiana, Ole Miss, Temple
Seed 12 - Buffalo, SFAustin, Wofford, Valpo
Seed 13 - UC Irvine, Wyoming, Gerogia State, Eastern Washington
Seed 14 - Albany, Northeastern, UAB, NMState
Seed 15 - Harvard, ND State, Coastal, Belmont
Seed 16 - Hampton, UNF, Lafayette, Texas Southern, Manhattan, Robert Morris
*Michigan State and SMU could flip depending on results today.
All of the bubble teams are listed on the 11 line. If UConn wins I will update but my initial thought is the committee will replace them with Temple (same conference) even though I don't think Temple is in the play-in game.
My first team out is BYU. I have been second guessing myself all day but think Murray State could get a sympathy nod with a relatively weak bubble this year but kept them out after my brother told me i was an idiot.....
