    UNC vs. Villanova in round 1 will make this thread juicy for the next few days.

    Heels get absolutely shafted but I think SDSU will take Oklahoma down provided Franklin shows up.

    I think UNLV is a 6 in the West

    Once again the committe shows they have absolutely no idea what they are doing. This tells me that Cal was the last team in the tournament and they just had to throw them somewhere. This does not bode well for Boise State though.

    Well we beat Cal in Berkley so no reason why we shouldn't be able to do it in San Jose. We didn't have Moser or Birch for that game and we beat them so I think we win that one.

    looks like I had my 1s and 2s right, it's coming out as expected

    louisville indiana gonzaga kansas
    miami ohio state duke georgetown

    have to see if I was right about the bubble

    UNC and Oregon are the two that stand out in terms of being screwed by seeding. Both should've been several seeds higher.

    Gonzaga 97th ranked schedule, top win is Kansas St.

    Miami wins ACC outright and win ACC tournament and get shafted...

    What a joke.

    "we think oregon is a terrific team"

    committee chairman again coming off as a buffoon

    You don't seed a terrific team 12th.

    The head committee said Oregon/CAL are 11s but due to the bracketing/scheduling they both dropped to 12

    that was also a very stupid explanation. Blaming "mechanics" for screwing teams on seeding.

    and Oregon at 11 would still clearly be too low

    The committee head kept on saying wins on the road are very important

    His explanation was garbage, no reason why they couldn't swap Cal and Akron. Logistically who would Cal have played in the PAC 12? All their teams are seeded low.

    A bad explanation as well. Just come out and say you need to schedule quality teams in your OOC. I wish they would have called out a team like Maryland. Their OOC was a disgrace.

    This may be the single worst draw in Villanova history. UNC is going to destroy them
