Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | Rankings are my exact seed order. With Zion back and 2 wins over UVA, this is an easy choice |
2 | Virginia | Maybe the FSU loss is a nice reset for them |
3 | North Carolina | Hopefully the committee does not rob UNC of the 1 seed they are |
4 | Gonzaga | Not a great look to lose to St Mary's by 13, but Tennessee/Auburn bailed them out |
5 | Michigan State | Did very well despite serious injury trouble throughout the season |
6 | Tennessee | Let the 1 seed slip right through their hands |
7 | Kentucky | I do not want them in my bracket |
8 | Michigan | 0-3 vs MSU. Ouch. |
9 | Florida State | Quietly had a great season |
10 | Texas Tech | Pretty tough 3 seed, but the loss to WVU warrants it |
11 | Houston | Let's see if they can avoid losing on a buzzer beater this year |
12 | LSU | Don't feel good about them being coached by an assistant, but they had a helluva year considering how it started |
13 | Virginia Tech | I've been high on them all year. Blackshear's footwork makes my feet hurt |
14 | Purdue | I feel a r32 loss coming |
15 | Kansas | If you told me before the season that my final ranking for KU would be 15, I probably would have shot you, and then myself in the head :) |
16 | Auburn | Got hot at the right time |
17 | Villanova | Retained ownership of the Big East and also the property in my head |
18 | Cincinnati | Thanks for beating Wichita |
19 | Kansas State | Wade being iffy is a concern. Bruce Weber dancing bear. |
20 | Buffalo | Better than the Bills |
21 | Wofford | Take 2 shots every time McGee takes an off balance 3, try not to get alcohol poisoning |
22 | Nevada | Rough ending to the year |
23 | Iowa State | I would put them higher, but I fully expect them to choke in the real tournament along with the rest of the Big 12 |
24 | Wisconsin | Whoever they play, bet the under |
25 | Maryland | I really wish Mark Turgeon were a better coach than he is |
