OT: Who is better than their seed in NCAAs?

[SkilletHead2]

OK, I'm in this cool pool. You pick ten teams. Each time your team wins, you get the number of points as the seed of the team. So, the goal here is to pick teams who are going to outplay their seed. There's no point in picking a #1 seed, and probably not even a #2 seed because they just don't earn enough points.

What I am looking for is mid level to low level seeds that will win a couple of games.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

It's a great concept for a pool. The guy who runs it comes up with great ideas for pools.

Could see Iona winning their first game as a 13. Kentucky, Maryland, and Texas look like decent picks as as 4,5, 6 seeds. Yale over Baylor seems to be the trending 12/5 upset pick so far.

 

[TDIrish27]

Wichita State

 

[WJLeggett]

Wichita St, Indiana, Purdue, Iowa

I think Seton Hall is underseeded but Gonzaga can do some damage, especially knowing they're gonna have the crowd for that first game.

Kentucky. 4th seed but 5th lowest odds to win tourney according to Vegas.

Thanks, guys! Super helpful!

(OK, it's a bump.)

Hawaii , but that will keep them from winning a game

 

[Rufaninga]

SF Austin

 

[RutgHoops]

Texas, Purdue, Yale,

 

[jerzeyguy]

Maryland

They have dangerous first game. South Dakota St is not to be overlooked

I hate to say it but I think Seton Hall has 2-3 winnable games.

I watched some bracketology show a bit.. they mentioned CAL, Kentucky of course, Colorado.. said a possible xavier-wvu matchup down the road would be brutal.. oh.. they loved Seton Hall also

Most years, picking all the 11s and 12s keeps you in this until the end. Then pick UConn because they're doing their thing where they win the national championship for no logical reason

 

[bac2therac]

Whaddya think, bac?

After watching tonight I would say Wichita State..Arizona is up next for them and the possibly Miami in the next round

Thanks, bac. Any truth to the rumour that you've been contacted about the HC spot?
