I just don't think the committee could justify that.

I don't really understand how Duke is a lock for a 2 seed though either right now. IMO, here should be the only "locks" for one and two seeds

Some combination of 1's and 2's:

UNC
Pitt
UCONN
Louisville
Memphis
Michigan State

Then, I think there is a group that is pretty much lumped together for the other 2 spots. They include:

Oklahoma
Duke
Kansas
Missouri
Villanova
Wake Forest

But, I do think OU will probably be a 2 seed.

It's a crap shoot really. I've read people putting MU and KU anywhere from #2 to #4. If MU loses today, I think they could easily drop to #4 territory. If they win, do they have the resume to take over OU and KU for the KC spot? I don't see why not. All three teams have similar resumes.

For whatever reason, everyone outside of the Big 12 seems to think OU is the best of the three. I don't see it, but I guess they'll get the benefit of the doubt.

right now here is how I see it going:

ONE SEEDS
Pittsburgh
North Carolina
Louisville
Duke

TWO SEEDS
UConn
Memphis
Oklahoma
Michigan State

THREE SEEDS
Villanova
Wake Forest
Missouri
Kansas


FOUR SEEDS
Syracuse
Gonzaga
Florida St
Purdue

But I'm sure this tune will change if Missouri loses to Baylor tonight.

WHAAAAAAT!!!! MIZZOU lost to KU by a large margin?!!! DON'T BRING FACTS INTO THIS ARGUMENT!!!!!

Beating Baylor in a meaningless game will make MU National Champs, RIGHT?!!! Woohoo! A TROPHY!

"We won a trophy?????"
"Well, sort of. You beat Baylor."
"Does it have a plastic basketball player on top?"
"Yep! Bestest EVER!!!!"
"Take that KU! See, we got one, too!!!"
"Got one what?"
"A trophy!"
"For doing what?"
"Beating BAYLOR!!!"
"OK, whatever you say."

That looks good to me. There really isn't a great candidate for that last #1 seed. It comes down to Pitt or UCONN, but neither have been great lately. It would be nice to see Syracuse bumped up to a #2 seed. I think they would deserve if it the seeds were completely predictive.

Actually, I would drop Duke to a #2 and put Memphis in as a #1.

I guess that just depends on if you value winning a conference championship, or a 4 game tournament more.

Also, if you want to reward a team for losing to two poor to mediocre teams at the end of the season.

What has Duke done to deserve a #1 seed? I don't think there is any way they beat out UCONN or Memphis for that #1.

I don't "value" anything more. Everything factors in.

I think OU gets a higher seed than both MU & KU and OU hasn't won shit this year right?

I think they win the ACC Tournament moving them into a #1 seed.

Well, MU got dominated by Texas A&M in their last regular season game with a lot on the line. Also, they lost by 25 to KU in their third to last game. Those are pretty bad losses as well.

I guess if you lose to Baylor tonight, it won't be as bad as KU losing to them, because it's in the championship, right?

I wouldn't characterize it as a comeback. For that post to be a "comeback," I would have to be responding towards a comment directed at me. As far as I can tell, you were directing the original post to who ever else exists in your land of imagination.
