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:
  • Michigan St. takes the final #1 spot after winning the B1G tournament.
  • Recalled the bracket reveal, then reviewed the Top 4 seed lines again.
  • Point of Emphasis: Body of Work
OPINION:
  • Since placing Oregon at 11, I compared their resume against ASU and St. Mary's.  Common opponent puts ASU back in the field.  NC State is out.
  • The bubble was awful this year and highly susceptible to mid-major takeover.  Late bid steals maintain the status quo.
