    Re: 2014 Selection Sunday Thread

    I think a lot of the seeding could be due to money. Now I'm just speculating but if Wisconsin got a 1 seed, or even Michigan, they would be playing in Raleigh but bump Wisconsin down to a 2 seed, now they're in Milwaukee. Virginia now plays in Raleigh and Michigan is also in Milwaukee which is a bit closer than playing Raleigh. They can get more of Virginia's fan support than Michigan or Wisconsin could

      The committee does consider regions more than ever now.

        How did SMU not get in? WTF?

        Good to see NC State sneak in. I expect WVU to make the NIT.

          I never in my life thought I'd ever see the day where UVA would get a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

          I realize the Hoos have been a #1 before, but that was a few years before I was alive and also when some tall dude named Ralph played for us.

            Thought we'd be higher than a play-in game, but three weeks ago I didn't think we deserved to even be on the bubble. So I guess it evens out.

            If we can get past Iowa, I can see us making a run. But I can easily see us losing to Iowa.

              Their résumé is a joke. They pass the eye test with flying colors but they didn't have many top 50 wins.

                Glad U of A got a 1 spot...gonna be in Vegas for the first 3 days of the tourney. Wichita St. is gonna have to pull a minor miracle to get out of that region alive.

                      I was wondering why CBS' Selection Show was only an hour but ESPN's is 2 hours.

                        I want them to do well, but I have Kentucky beating them. Part of me wants Louisville to destroy teams as a screw you to the committee as well.

                          I think Wichita State can beat Kentucky, but just barely, but I don't think they can get past Louisville.

                            My serious, legit bracket that I filled out has Wichita State beating Florida in the National Title game.

                            My other one just on the slight chance that I'm the only one in the world to get it right is #Nebrasketball over Florida

                              then how do you explain Wichita State being a number 1?

                                Regardless of who you play, it's impressive if you go undefeated. I mean come on, you think they were going to give Wichita State a 2 or a 3?
