C'mon Gary, are you nuts!?!  Did you get the football recruiting class mixed up with the basketball team?  Because really, they aren't that good.

Gary this is out of control.  You have Notre Dame ahead of Stanford, Georgetown, Purdue, and UConn.  REALLY?!?!  I just don't see how you have them ranked higher than those teams as well as some others.  Maybe a paragraph about that would help me understand where this awesome Notre Dame team is at?  I haven't seen them all year...

With Duke losing and either tenn or memphis to lose this weekend i think that if my huskies run the table or even lose one but win the B.E tourney they should at least be considered for a two seed and if they go without loss and win the tourney they can get a one with some more losses at the top of the polls.what does everyone think?

Gary, why do you even bother to put the 13-16 seeds when it's obvious you put no thought whatsoever into them? You have had Robert Morris in the play-in game for over a month now. Robert Morris is 25-6. That is not play-in game material, that is likely #14 seed material. I don't care at all about Robert Morris, never have. But anyone who has paid attention to the Northeast Conference at all knows ...(more)

With all due respect to my fellow hoosiers, Butler and Purdue, I think the IU team will have a better chance progressing through the tourney than the other 3 seeds.  IU beat PU convincingly.  The next 10 days and the committee will show that to be true.  Of course, should IU loose its coach in the next week, I'm happy to have the 4 seed.

Florida is a 2 time defending national champions, with a 21-10 record and a 8-8 conf record, yet you guys will put Arizona in the tournament with a 19-13 record and a 9-10 conf. record. That is why the tournament is becoming a joke. On top of that Memphis plays one actual decent team in Tennesee and gets beat, but good job on defending the so called powerhouses.

How can you justify giving UConn a #4 seed, when they were ranked #15 before getting waxed by WVU in the Big East Tourney? At the very minimum they should fall to a #5. Seeds 1-4 should be reserved for the top sixteen teams, and that doesn't include the Huskies.

Why is Drake a 6 and Butler a 4 when Drake beat Butler at Butler?

Playing at home helps to win conference championships and leads to big upsets. Portland State wouldn't have won the Big Sky if the game was played in a neutral city like San Jose. San Diego wouldn't have upset the Gails and the Bulldogs if the game was played in Las Vegas, like it will be next year. UC Irvine upset #1 seed Santa Barbara tonight, but behind a home crowd hugely supportive of ...(more)

The thing I just don't get though is how S. Alabama is ahead of Davidson?  I feel like S. Alabama is obviously more of a bubble team, and Davidson has been more impressive and deserves a higher seed.

I also assume Pitt gets moved up to at least a 5 with the way they've been playing lately.
