Michigan losing to Duke and UVA, and then getting worked by Iowa and losing to Arkansas(!)

Really bro? I’m gonna assume you meant to put the exclamation point after Iowa.

/chooses ACC top 4 over B1G top 4

Which makes no sense, but sure.

In last year’s B10 Tourney, the top 5 seeds got a first round bye and the 6 played the 11.

12 conference teams this year changes the bracket a bit.

UPDATE: Unlike last year, when the 5-6 teams played each other

In last year’s B10 Tourney, the top 5 seeds got a first round bye and the 6 played the 11.

Michigan losing to Duke and UVA, and then getting worked by Iowa and losing to Arkansas(!) have them below FSU.

Did you type that without knowing anything about Florida St.?

Maybe the Big 12 IS overrated…

Purdue is looking straight on at the 6, which probably gets them Brasky again (they pasted them last night. We have been on the bubble for a while now, no question. BUT – 9-9 in the top conference with 21 wins (presuming a 1-2 finish and W in the first tournament game) gets you in

Oh my no…Florida State only started winning regularly when they got to conference play

And this also includes Virginia which is basically a wash with Wisconsin

Michigan losing to Duke and UVA, and then getting worked by Iowa and losing to Arkansas(!) have them below FSU.

Wisconsin is a more convincing case, however. They are probably a coin flip with UVA.

Wisconsin can’t play themselves.

A true blessing.

When the frick did LSU jump to 4th place in the SEC?

They’ve protected home ct in SEC play…KY is their only conference loss in Baton Rouge.

When the Big East does this, they get like 18 teams in.

But in their defense, the Big East has like 62 teams.
