Guess the seed

Green Lantern · March 14, 2021

Should be a 12 but we’ll end up with a 13.

March 13 \| 1-68
1. Gonzaga	2. Baylor	3. Michigan	4. Illinois
5. Iowa	6. Alabama	7. Ohio State	8. Oklahoma State
9. Arkansas	10. Houston	11. Texas	12. Kansas
13. West Virginia	14. Purdue	15. Florida State	16. Virginia
17. Tennessee	18. Creighton	19. Villanova	20. Colorado
21. Texas Tech	22. USC	23. Oregon	24. LSU
25. Missouri	26. Wisconsin	27. Oklahoma	28. North Carolina
29. Florida	30. BYU	31. San Diego St	32. Clemson
33. Virginia Tech	34. Rutgers	35. Connecticut	36. St. Bonaventure
37. VCU	38. Georgia Tech	39. Maryland	40. Michigan State
41. Loyola-Chi	42. Wichita State	43. Louisville	44. UCLA
45. Syracuse	46. Drake	47. Utah State	48. Saint Louis
49. W. Kentucky	50. Winthrop
51. Liberty	52. UCSB	53. Buffalo	54. UNCG
55. Colgate	56. Morehead St	57. Grand Canyon	58. E. Washington
59. Drexel	60. Oral Roberts	61. Cleveland St	62. Hartford
63. Nicholls	64. Iona	65. Prairie View	66. Mt. St. Mary’s
67. App State	68. Norfolk State

On the 12-seed line(s), 45-48 is for the last four at-large teams in, then 49-50 is the two AQ 12-seeds. He has WKU and 23-1 Winthrop as the two AQ 12-seeds. Of the four 13-seeds, we have a higher NET than all three except for UCSB, and Buffalo was knocked out by Ohio who has a much lower NET than us.

With WKU vacating one of those 12-seeds, the top contenders for that AQ 12-seed would probably be Liberty (NET 84), UCSB (NET 55), and us. We beat a higher ranked team than UCSB did in their conference championship game, but they probably stay ahead of us (NET 62). Liberty notched a couple SEC wins in Non-Con, including the Mississippi State team we lost to, so they probably hold the résumé advantage.

The teams on the 14-seed line all have NETs in the 100s, except for Colgate Toothpaste (NET 8), a team that has only played conference games. Their conference championship game is tomorrow, so I suppose you could say we’re rooting for them to lose but I doubt they have the resume to hop us.

All this to say, we are in the hunt for a 12-seed, but 13 does feel most likely. Only way we fall to a 14-seed is if multiple teams with significantly lower NET rankings get placed ahead of us.

I think we should be 12 but think we will end up a 13. But either case puts us in a place to pull an upset.

so far both projections I have seen have us 13 playing UVA. That will be one slow game. First one to 50 wins.

new NET today have us up to 61.

Virginia's covid problems will magically disappear so as to allow them to play in the tournament.

I read on ESPN we’d face Creighton...? Region 1...

How did Creighton lose by 25 points to Georgetown?

Updated as a 13-seed playing Florida State. Unfortunately projecting us to be the last 13-seed. Again, this is the most accurate Bracketologist in recent years.
