Why did you ask for others opinion if you already have an answer in your head?

I gave you my opinion on where I value them but am probably wrong. Either way, I stand by what I posted whether you agree or not.


Because it's a message board and that's what people do.

I think both XU and PC are probably 10s


My thought is Creighton will not be in the top 12 so they will probably not be a 3 seed. I think 3 is fair but 4 is more realistic.


Only need to have one of the 12 best resumes, and be in the top 12 on the S-curve. Don't care what they are in the polls. Villanova was #3 in the polls coming into the Big East tourney, and they were in no way the 3rd best team in the country.

I am not sure they have a top 12 resume but their RPI only dropped to 10 so maybe it will be the 3 seed for them

My guess:

Villanova 2
Creighton 4
Providence 10
Xavier 11

Not bad for a "down year" in a "dead" conference.

btw not sure I really believe PC will be a 12. RPI up to 41 now which would support a 11 seed. could see them even up to a 10 or even a 9. In some ways, the 11 is better than a 10 or 9 quite frankly....

The last week the prognosticators have had it out for PC it feels like. Seemed to keep moving the goal posts on us with each win. Meanwhile all the other bubblers lost today. So we won the BET and dropped our RPI.....12 seems high to me. Plus I believe our RPI is better than X so not sure how they would get a higher seed. Winning the BET felt great because they could take the bubble bs and shove it.

Whatever I'm just glad to avoid the first four playin game (sorry X)...
