looking-
Nova I love their bracket. Bucknell/UMass isn't a bad 1/2 rd pod. Then Mich St in the sweet 16. Nice.
Marquette- I can really see their bracket. But it's not bad. Tennessee/Memphis/Kansas. as good as you can expect
Georgetown- plays Harvard/Ohio St(in Indy). pretty tough
Creighton- plays VCU/Louisville(in Memphis). pretty tough

I think it's what you would expect. Nova wow would sign up for that today, trust me.

You've got the sites wrong.

Creighton would play VCU/Louisville in St Louis, not Memphis. Creighton fans would rather not play Louisvlle, but would LOVE to play in St Louis. The MVC's conference tourney was in St Louis and Creighton routinely brought in excess of 6000 people for that.

Georgetown plays Harvard/Ohio St in Buffalo, not Indy.

You guys brought it to the Your Name Here Center. I went pretty much every year because it was fun to watch and close to home.

I don't understand why Xavier and ND would be above butler. But they're going to be on the bubble all year I'd assume

I can see Xavier easy- much better OOC schedule- with wins over Tennessee, Cincy, and hopefully Alabama. Plus I'm guessing he's got them picked to finish 5th while Butler 6th.

Not as sure about ND. I'd kind of guess he thinks they may get a win or two in conference that will help them out a lot.

Yeah, ND has beaten Indiana but lost to ND State and Indiana State AT HOME. There are a few teams he has in that shouldn't be in as of now but I think he is projecting that they will get some good wins during league play.

Remember, he is projecting the field based upon results as of today. He is not making projections of where he sees these teams finishing up.

While that's probably what he states, I don't think that's true. Case in point, look at a team like Michigan. Most people rightfully think they are an NCAA team, however, if you look at their results so far, they are 6-4 with no Top 100 wins (Florida State at 104 and he has them in as well), a suspect loss to Charlotte (RPI 142) and their current RPI is 132! They haven't beaten anyone. Of course, they will probably get some big wins during Big Ten play but their resume is crap as of today.
