2/18 SEED LIST

- I'm not sure I'm happy with my 3 line and 4 line, but it's the only order of teams that doesn't make me throw up at the moment.  I just can't put any of those teams on the 4 line up a line right now.
- Cincinnati now leads the AAC by our rules, so there you go.
- Illinois and Rutgers feel low, but I can't put that many B1G teams that high up.  I think the committee will self-correct and send a couple B1G teams down the bracket.
- These are going to be historically weak teams on the 13 and 14 lines this year.  No way around that.

The 1 line:  Baylor, Kansas, Gonzaga, San Diego St
The 2 line:  Duke, Maryland, Dayton, Florida St
The 3 line:  Seton Hall, Villanova, Penn St, Kentucky
The 4 line:  Auburn, Louisville, Creighton, West Virginia
The 5 line:  Colorado, Oregon, Michigan St, Butler
The 6 line:  Iowa, Marquette, Arizona, Ohio St
The 7 line:  LSU, Houston, Wisconsin, Michigan
The 8 line:  BYU, Texas Tech, Rhode Island, Illinois
The 9 line:  Rutgers, St Mary's, Oklahoma, Northern Iowa
The 10 line:  USC, Florida, Indiana, Virginia
The 11 line:  Xavier, Purdue, Wichita St, East Tennessee St, Richmond, Utah St
The 12 line:  Cincinnati, Furman, Yale, Vermont
The 13 line:  North Texas, New Mexico St, Stephen F Austin, Colgate
The 14 line:  South Dakota St, Hofstra, Wright St, UC Irvine
The 15 line:  Montana, Bowling Green, Little Rock, Winthrop

You’re in a vast minority that has UC out as an at large

Shocked you have Kentucky as a 3 seed right now. Maybe if they win at LSU tonight which I doubt will happen they might have a case but right now Kentucky is at best a 4 seed and when they lose at LSU tonight maybe a 5 seed. That Evansville loss was such a killer.

SF Austin won at Duke. That doesn't seem like a weak 13 seed at all.

Never mind on Kentucky I never thought they could win at LSU. Had a 12 point lead with 2 minutes left and barely survived but a huge win a huge huge win.

Cincinnati has 3 Q3 losses. And 6 of their 8 Q1/2 wins are in Q2-B. They can still earn their way in, but they're not there yet. Think a few too many people are jumping off on conference standings.

I really didn't like UK on the 3 line....but I liked the other teams less. Ironically, after a signature road win at LSU, UK's gonna drop back to the 4 line now, but because Creighton added another signature road win of its own.
