March 17, 201313 yr Author So they're saying that Duke was the #8 two seed? Reeeeally. If Duke is a two seed, seems a lock the other three ones will be Kansas, Indiana, and Gonzaga. They only seed the #1's by rank. The other seeds are placed by geography as much as where they rank among their equal # seeds.
March 17, 201313 yr Ohio St. or New Mexico will be a #3 seed if the Zags. I would have thought they would have both been #2 seeds Gonzaga as #1, Ohio State as #2, New Mexico as #3 IMO. Kansas State, Wisconsin, Arizona, Pitt, Notre Dame are all teams that will be in the West.
March 17, 201313 yr They only seed the #1's by rank. The other seeds are placed by geography as much as where they rank among their equal # seeds. Is that right? They change so often I can't remember.
March 17, 201313 yr 0 sense in the seeding. Shouldn't the overall #1 have the easiest/best path? Miami not a #1 but Indiana is?
March 17, 201313 yr They only seed the #1's by rank. The other seeds are placed by geography as much as where they rank among their equal # seeds. Then it is not an overall #1.......
March 17, 201313 yr Author Then it is not an overall #1....... Read closely ... they do rank the #1 seeds. They don't rank the other seeds.
March 17, 201313 yr So Ole Miss definitely bumped someone off the bubble. Did they maybe steal Tennessee's bid?
March 17, 201313 yr I still don't understand how California is in as an at-large at a lower seed than one of the play-in games. Oregon was a 12 and Ole Miss was a 12, two conference champions that stole at-large bids. If both of those broke the other way, then maybe Kentucky might have snuck in.
March 17, 201313 yr 0 sense in the seeding. Shouldn't the overall #1 have the easiest/best path? Miami not a #1 but Indiana is? They say the #1 overall and the easiest path is not true. It's most geographical.
March 17, 201313 yr Read closely ... they do rank the #1 seeds. They don't rank the other seeds. They can rank them all they want, but if the overall #1 doesn't get the #4 of all the other seeds, then it isn't really a ranking at all.
March 17, 201313 yr At least it's St. Patrick's Day, and many fans will not feel the pain as strongly as they might.
