Bracketology 2024

Kansas has some huge out of conference wins. If they just win out at the Phog they're still going to be viewed favorably by the committee.

Right now they are 9-5 in the first two quadrants. We are 7-5 for comparison.

Does the committee take into account injuries during the season? McCullar being out these last few games has killed Kansas

UConn's Q1 is chock full of road wins against marginal Q1 opponents, so that 8-1 isn't quite as impressive as it looks

Eh, UNC (neutral), Gonzaga (neutral) and Texas (neutral) out of conference.

They haven't played Marquette yet but they blasted Creighton and have beaten a lot of the Big East bubble teams on the road.

13-2 in the first two quadrants is a pretty pristine resume. They have a shot at the #1 overall seed if Purdue messes up down the stretch.

Don't get me wrong, they have some good wins. Just not a lot of great ones (IMO)

Other Q1:
@ Butler (50)
@ Xavier (52)
Creighton (15)
@ Villanova (41)
@ St Johns (46)

That's a fair point. Outside of beating UNC (by double digits) on a neutral I wouldn't classify any win as great.

I would argue consistently beating decent to good teams on the road is impressive though. It won't shock me at all if UConn repeats.

Yeah, I think about 3-4 is reasonable given their resume to this point, and would creep up if they get it together.

It's Kansas, they have to play their way well out of a seed before they slide down while the rest of us have to play our way into a seed to move up. Take where they belong and halve it, and that's where they will likely be slotted unofficially. Then, split the difference at the end to where they will eventually go. Example, probably deserve a 4 right now, still on a 2 line, likely get awarded a 3 if seeded today

Maybe to an extent but you also can't make up excuses for the lack of depth Kansas has this year.
 
See where SB Sports still has ISU as a 4 seed after last night. What does SB stand for, Stupid Bas#####?:curse:
 
Any guesses on the projected top 16 for Saturday's reveal?? Win tonight and we are knocking on a 2 seed, right? Lose tonight and we are a 3?

1 - Purdue, UCONN, Houston, Arizona
2 - UNC, Tennessee, Marquette, Kansas
3 - ISU, Baylor, Illinois, Alabama
4 - Auburn, BYU, South Carolina, Duke
