I think at least an 11. IMO they would be seeded higher then all the low major schools.

I'm vomitting all over my house.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-16-2008, 04:27 PM

If I were there, I'd join you.

And I think my son (who goes back to school tomorrow after spring break) may start vomiting all over my house any minute now.

I can't ever remember it being illegal in college. It is/was in the NBA though isn't it?

not a chance. RPI of 152 and a horrible, horrible resume. I think JiMGA is right, a 13 and closer to the 14 side of things than 12.

LloydLungs · 03-16-2008, 04:29 PM

RPI-wise, Georgia is probably more like a 14. And honestly, not taking away from their run at all (they've earned a bid if they finish this), but this tournament has exposed just how weak the SEC is this year.

Kind of what I've been thinking for a good part of today. Just adds to my worries about Tennessee's chances of getting to/past the Sweet 16.

Thirded.

Izulde · 03-16-2008, 04:40 PM

I'd say Wisconsin should be a 2 seed FWIW.

I don't see anyway the comittee puts them with the likes of cal state fullerton.

The good thing is we find out in 15 minutes

The most annoying part is the "Let's show you the four top seeds!" I don't need 15 minutes to digest what everyone pretty much knows already.

Lathum · 03-16-2008, 05:01 PM

Most people don't know this, but Gumbel calls all the shots at CBS. If he doesn't want the selection show in HD, it ain't in HD.

Izulde · 03-16-2008, 05:05 PM

No arguments with the #1 seeds, really, though I might've put UCLA as the #2 overall team.

Notre Dame gets a tough 12-5 game

Lathum · 03-16-2008, 05:12 PM

wow. Butler a 7 seed

Izulde · 03-16-2008, 05:13 PM

Indiana-Arkansas... guh.

It's going to be an interesting household... Dad'll be cheering for the Big Ten team and I'll be rooting for Arkansas.

very, very happy to see Tennessee and Louisville as the 2/3 seeds in UNC's bracket(no offense Tennesee/Louisville fans :P). Indiana is a real intersting 2nd round matchup potentially.

Butler as a 7 is going to be a *very* popular upset pick I bet to get past Tennessee in bracket pools.

not only that, but if they win they get Tenneessee. Thats a royal screw job.

hoopsguy · 03-16-2008, 05:17 PM

Radii, are you honestly worried about an Indiana team that hasn't showed up for their interim coach in the last month? In Raleigh? Assuming they get there?

I know that it isn't prudent to look past anyone, but that isn't a potential game that should have the #1 overall team all that concerned, imo.

Lathum · 03-16-2008, 05:18 PM

wow. Nova got in.

DeToxRox · 03-16-2008, 05:19 PM

Wisconsin as a three is a crime

DeToxRox · 03-16-2008, 05:20 PM

Mayo vs Beasley, tell me that didn't play a part in that matchup?

Radii · 03-16-2008, 05:20 PM

OJ Mayo vs Michael Beasley!

Eaglesfan27 · 03-16-2008, 05:20 PM

Crap. I hate that USC has to play Kansas State first. Worst 11 seed to play ever.

hoopsguy · 03-16-2008, 05:20 PM

Mayo vs Beasley opening game. USC/Wisky could be really challenging game for both teams in terms of style of play.

Lathum · 03-16-2008, 05:20 PM

USC- K State is a great first round game

Please tell me Stanford isn't a 2....I don't need to hear about it all week.

Izulde · 03-16-2008, 05:22 PM

Ugh. The Badgers a 3? They got robbed.

They seem to be on the way down and out, but a team with top 10-15 talent that was looking like a solid 3 seed for much of the season, and that would have been much higher if not for minnesota's miracle shot... of course the 1 seed should win, and hell arkansas may beat indiana, but its not ideal

I'm assuming Duke.

Lathum · 03-16-2008, 05:24 PM

Curious to see how high Pitt goes.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-16-2008, 05:24 PM

Looks like the conference tournament weighed pretty harshly on Tennessee but didn't help Wisconsin much.

DeToxRox · 03-16-2008, 05:25 PM

The Memphis team sitting there is the closest thing to an offensive set they've had all year.

DeToxRox · 03-16-2008, 05:26 PM

Michigan State is so awful no matter what that record says. That is a team with no heart.

Lathum · 03-16-2008, 05:26 PM

Texas deserved a 2 seed

DeToxRox · 03-16-2008, 05:27 PM

Stanford vs Cornell will be played as an Academic Decathalon.

Karlifornia · 03-16-2008, 05:28 PM

Stanford/Cornell= Brain Bowl 2008

Izulde · 03-16-2008, 05:28 PM

Michigan State as a #5? WTF? That's waaaay too high.
