1 Villanova University Logo Villanova LW: 3 Such a tough road to the championship
2 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina LW: 6 Their inside-outside skill sold me throughout the tourney.
3 University of Kansas Logo Kansas LW: 1 Disappointment at the end, but this is representative of how I felt about them all season.
4 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma LW: 7 Buddy Heild and the pips.
5 University of Virginia Logo Virginia LW: 4 Ugh how do you lose that Syracuse game
6 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State LW: 2 Losing to a Cinderella hurts (they were my #2 pre-tourney), but they were terrific this season.
7 University of Oregon Logo Oregon LW: 9 They were impressive in early tourney work, but I still don't think they were a #1 seed.
8 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) LW: 11 Larranaga pulls off a solid season
9 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse LW: NR Stupid sexy Boeheim
10 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana LW: 10 Still didn't make it past the Sweet 16. That's the Selection Committee's fault. #FireCrean
11 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame LW: NR Still working out how this team made the Elite 8.
12 University of Louisville Logo Louisville LW: 12 I'll make my own tourney! With blackjack!
13 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga LW: NR A great tourney run puts the icing on a great season in Spokane. They shouldn't have lost the Syracuse game.
14 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State LW: NR I irrationally love this team. I still think they can beat anybody when they're healthy.
15 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland LW: 15 Meh. Wanted more, expected less.
16 Xavier University Logo Xavier LW: 5 They'll be back
17 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia LW: 8 Poor Huggy Bear.
18 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky LW: 18 Guess the committee got what they wanted.
19 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State LW: 23 Performed as expected.
20 Duke University Logo Duke LW: 19 Grayson Allen is coming back! Isn't everyone excited?!
21 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M LW: 20 This team is not as good as Kentucky, yet gets a higher seed?
22 Stephen F. Austin State University Logo Stephen F. Austin LW: NR Lost in the shuffle of other collapses was how SFA got hosed. They were so good this year, and were on my list from the start.
23 Purdue University Logo Purdue LW: 14 Am I a shill for leaving Purdue on but axing Iowa, Utah, and Arizona? Maybe. But they did not perform late season & in conf tourneys
24 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall LW: NR This team beat Nova and Xavier days pre-tourney. Just had the luck of hitting a way-underseeded Gonzaga team. Or they'd've made noise
25 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU LW: NR Great season, violations notwithstanding. 26-30 (alphabetical order): Arizona, Baylor, Iowa, Utah, Wisconsin
