THE USUAL STUFF:
- Teams in bold are automatic qualifiers.
- The Seed List is accounting for any/all potential shifts by the committee.
- Rematches are avoided whenever possible.
NOTES:
- Re-re-re-evaluated Seeds 4-12 based on Team Sheets.
- Numbers comp between teams formerly 10-11.
- Q1 wins weighted by name recognition, Q2 considered as-is.
- Q3 and Q4 losses used to move teams along seed line.
OPINION:
- Emphasis on "not doing enough" will keep teams like Furman and Belmont out of the tournament.
