boilerzz · Feb 16, 2017

Below is how the committee's top 16 seeds have fared since the big reveal:

Villanova
1. W at Xavier 73-57, W at Depaul 75-62
Kansas
1. W at Texas Tech 80-79, W vs WVU 84-80
Baylor
1. W vs TCU 70-52, L at Texas Tech 84-78
Gonzaga
1. W at St. Mary's 74-64
North Carolina
1. W at NC State 97-73
Florida State
1. L at Notre Dame 84-72
Louisville
1. W vs Miami 71-66, W at Syracuse 76-72 (OT)
Oregon
1. W at USC 81-70
Arizona

Florida
1. W vs Texas A&M 71-62, W at Auburn 114-95
Kentucky
1. W at Alabama 67-58, W vs Tennessee 83-58
Butler
1. L at Providence 71-65, W vs St. Johns 110-86
West By God Virginia
1. W vs Kansas St 85-66, L at Kansas 84-80
UCLA
1. W vs Oregon State 78-60
Duke
1. W vs Clemson 64-62, W at Virginia 65-55

And some supposed contenders

Purdue
- W vs Rutgers 74-55
Wisconsin
- L vs Northwestern 66-59
Creighton
- W at Depaul 93-58, L at Seton Hall 87-81
Cincinnati
- L at SMU 60-51, W at South Florida 68-54

The good news is our top competition to enter the top 16 seeds all lost. Also, you could make an argument to drop Virginia and/or Butler out of the protected seed list. I think if they re-did it today, Purdue would be in at either 15 or 16.

My updated seed list:

Villanova
Kansas
Gonzaga
North Carolina
Baylor
Louisville
Oregon
Arizona
Duke
Florida State
Kentucky
Florida
UCLA
West By God Virginia
Purdue
Virginia
