Tourney Time!
Today we find out who is in and who is out. Who got the shaft and who paid the committee off. How wrong will Seth Davis be, and how many times will Jim Nantz try to kiss Billy Packer?
For the record, even after the less-than-stellar performance by Pitt last night, anything less than a 3-seed is an abomination, and a 2 should not be out of the question.
I taped the show so I could enjoy a wonderful day at the J. Paul Getty Center, and thus, we start late.
And we're off!
Florida is the overall #1 seed?
What?
The other #1 seeds: UNC, Ohio State, and Kansas.
Kansas? Say what? Their power numbers are pretty despicable. How about that, 5 minutes in and there's already two errors. Not really shocking.
Midwest region
#1 Florida
#16 Jackson State
#8 Arizona
#9 Purdue
#5 Butler
#12 Old Dominion
#4 Maryland (what? After that embarrassing loss to Miami?!)
#13 Davidson
#2 Wisconsin
#15 Texas A&M Corpus Christi
#7 UNLV
#10 Georgia Tech (after that loss to Wake? Yikes)
#3 Oregon (Hmmmm....)
#14 Miami (OH)
#6 Notre Dame
#11 Wintrhop
Well, a few overseeds, but so far not all that bad I guess.
West
#1 Kansas (Again, a sham)
#16 Winner of Florida A&M and Niagara game
#8 Kentucky
#9 Villanova (a bit low I think)
#5 Virginia Tech
#12 Illinois
#4 Southern Illinois (Hmm)
#13 Holy Cross
#2 UCLA
#15 Weber State
#7 Indiana
#10 Gonzaga
#3 PItt (I can live with this)
#14 Wright State
#6 Duke (Way too high)
#11 VCU (should give Duke a good game)
Actually a good bracket, except for Kansas.
Pitt gets Wright State, then presumably Duke/VCU, then UCLA...I would love to see that.
East
#1 UNC
#16 Eastern Kentucky
#8 Marquette
#9 Michigan State
#5 USC (a bit high)
#12 Arkansas
#4 Texas
#13 New Mexico State
#2 Georgetown
#15 Belmont
#7 Boston College (a tad high)
#10 Texas Tech
#3 Washington State (way too high)
#14 Oral Roberts
#6 Vanderbilt
#11 George Washington
Hmm, some errors there
South
#1 Ohio State
#16 Central Connecticut State
#8 BYU
#9 Xavier
#5 Tennessee
#12 Long Beach State
#4 Virginia
#13 Albany
#2 Memphis (WAY TOO HIGH)
#15 North Texas
#7 Nevada
#10 Creighton
#3 Texas A&M
#14 Penn
#6 Louisville
#11 Stanford
Memphis deserves a 2 seed as much as I do. That's ridiculous.
And these analysts are morons. They pick 3 #1 seeds and a 2 seed to make the Final Four? Come on, don't you get paid to make better picks. Geez.
