Cal fans should be a little nervous right now. If you want a long shot for being epically screwed, it's Cal. Bracket Matrix has Cal as an 11, and 'in' in 83/87 brackets. In 2011, CU Bracket Matrix had CU as an 11 'in' in 81/87 brackets.
Really hope St. Mary's gets exposed. Fraud. Listed as an 11 as well. 80/87.
Villanova 11. 80/87.

Palm's update has the Buffs as an 8 seed playing Cincinnati in Salt Lake City. Winner plays Gonzaga/Western Kentucky winner.

Lunardi has the Buffs as a 9 seed playing NCSU in Dayton (not a play-in game) to play Indiana (or Liberty/LIU-Brooklyn winner :lol
EDIT: I guess that hasn't been updated since it was discussed yesterday :sorry:
Has CSU as an 8 seed playing Minnesota in SLC to play Gonzaga. Other Pac-12 seeds - Arizona 4, UCLA 6, Oregon 9, Cal 11.
Have to wonder if UCLA's seeding might drop with Adams being done for the year?

I'll take our Palm projection over Lunardi's in a heartbeat.

Both winnable. tOSU most over respected team in the country.
Memphis looked good to me. Pretty much everyone could shoot

Everyone is capable who we'll be facing. There's no one we're going to draw and go "oh man, we'll crush them" Avoiding a ridiculous location where the first opponent enjoys massive support is crucial.
UNM beats UNLV to win the MWC title. I think the Lobos are looking at a 2-seed.
This. A million times this. This is probably the best bracket for us I have seen
His south bracket would have some epic games all the way through.
2 seed should probably be a minimum for them right now. I think you could make a real case for them on the 1 line. The MWC was a better conference than some "major" conferences this year (I'm looking at you, $EC), they've got a good SOS and there really aren't 4 teams with impeccable cases for a 1 seed....
44-10 run for Louisville over about the past 14 minutes. :wow: :wow: :wow:
Interesting you mention that because CBS said during the game that the MWC is the #1 conference in the RPI right now, which if true I can't believe they're ranked ahead of the Big 10. But also look at these numbers comparing UNM's resume to Gonzaga's:
RPI - Gonzaga 6, UNM 2
SOS - Gonzaga 74, UNM 2
wins against RPI top 50: Gonzaga 6, UNM 9
They're a very dangerous team in the tourney
Likely the #1 overall seed in the tourney.

They go 9 or 10 deep, legitimately. This wasn't even a lights out performance *overall* from an offensive standpoint. Shot 40%, 30% from three. Ho-hom, kill Syracuse, move on. They're clearly peaking at the right time.
A good Syracuse team was killing them, then they just turned it on and steamrolled the Orange.

beware the habu
I didn't see the comparisons of UNM and the Zags. When I was watching earlier, they compared UNM's resume to Kansas, by putting the numbers side by side without the team names. By the numbers, they have a legitimate gripe to be seeded as high as the gheysquawks.

Palm's early sunday update. CU a 9 playing North Carolina in Salt Lake, winner plays Gonzaga/Western Kentucky winner. Love the Salt Lake part, do not like the North Carolina part. North Carolina is hardly unbeatable, and playing in Salt Lake would be a massive boost for us. I honestly don't think Carolina ends up as an 8 seed, I see them higher than that. At least a 7, maybe a 6. If they beat Miami tomorrow, that's all but guaranteed.

Would love it if we could play in SLC, but I see NCSU as more likely if we get a 9 seed. Most brackets put us right on the 10 line: http://bracketmatrix.com/
I'm ok with that.
I'm ok with that.
Thanks for the link. Average of 85 different projections show CU around at a 9.85 seed, with a range between 7 and 12. Notably, only one of the 85 (Stat Sheet) has CU out of the tourney altogether.

NCSU has the potential of Scott Wood to go Brady Heslip on us. Just throwin that out there.
Gotta take what we get, though. We played ourselves into this range. Want an easier game, gotta win more.

Palm now has 9 seed CU playing 8 seed Cincinnati in Dayton (winner plays Indiana). I don't mind playing Cincinnati, but in Dayton? 45 minutes from Cincinnati's campus, are you kidding me? Pass.

Win or lose they're not 8 seed material IMO... But that doesn't mean we couldn't see them if they're a 7...they're beatable if you get them away from Carolina Mafia controlled territory
I think we'd get smoked by 20 against Carolina. Not sure we have the guard play to keep up with their new small lineup.

Not sure i think we'd get killed, but it's not a match up I want in the first game
