Illinois and Auburn both with every right to move up to 3 taking the spots of Duke and Kentucky. Kansas also is currently on the 4 but has the resume of a 3. NCAA guy Gavitt said today they have been advised that the injured Kansas players will play in the NCAA tourney so that may put them back in play for a 3.
San Diego State and Wisconsin both have shots to move up to a 4 as Alabama's spot is tenuous

East looks tough. Would they really put Creighton and Marquette in the same bracket. I could see them flipping Baylor over to the Midwest.
Great job as always this year.
Great job as always this year.
by rule, they have to be put in different regions, this is just to give a visual right now based on my true seed list
also i am debating the overall status of the order of the Purdue, UConn, Houston...Purdue may not be the overall 1 anymore
Put Illinois in UCONN's bracket. With Shannon they could give UCONN fits.
Texas A&M falls to Florida...still think the Aggies are okay
Florida has a shot at 5, could flip with South Carolina but do not want to put too much weight on the conference tourney as they came in more a deep 7

If new Mexico wins who falls into the play in game with st. John's. I assume mew mex would move up as mwc champ
I think beyond Houston and UConn...anyone can beat anyone.
I like San Diego State to do well again. They will be a 4/5 and if they get Purdue or North Carolina they can knock those 1s off Of the higher seeds I think Marquette, Kentucky and Tennessee could do very well
I think if St Johns gets in the tournament they can make the sweet 16 and elite 8 given the right draw
also would not be surprised to see Fla Atlantic pulling a surprise...they may end up an 8/9 so that will be a problem
oh yeah they move up above and I think A&M, Michigan St, Oklahoma all at risk to move into the first 4
I really want to see the 2 Pitinos going at each other in the first four
likely 6 but if anyone misses its New Mexico....though Colorado State may be closer to the cut line then many think
they do it by beating up on each other, winning lots of Q3 games by large margins and then pulling out some good quality wins OOC
its a better conference than the Pac 12 which is now dead
I also think it's a more entertaining conf than the b1g right now.
yes style wise...alot of overacheiving players with chip on their shoulder at Boise, Nevada, Utah State...San Diego State has been a great target for all of them to up their game
Brad has all 3 Big East bubbles in the last 4 in, sorry no way that Virginia/Pitt are left out at the expense of taking all 3...one will not make it
Looks like Fort Worth has really embraced hosting the AAC tourney
FAU should not be in if they lose to this shit team yet they will...one win over Arizona (as if thats an accomplishment) will trump 3 horrific losses
9th/10th rated conference does not deserve a 2nd bid to a school that didnt even win the regular season like Indiana State did
I hope they don’t get in only because of last season’s run. Btw, looks like there’s about 300 people at the game.
