+1000000Why is Stanford included in the question? They're overall #2.
South Carolina has a far better resume than Baylor and Louisville. It's not even close. If you're just counting the number of losses, then you have no idea how resumes are evaluated.
I would give NC State the edge over SC for the last #1 seed. SC does have more Quadrant 1 wins, and NC State's two losses are "softer" than any of SC's losses, but NC State has two wins that are far better than SC's best wins.
I dont think 1 good win is going to be enough to get Louisville a #1. If SC & NCSt lose, I suspect it'll be Maryland or possibly Baylor.I generally agree, although it’s unlikely that SC will be a 1 seed if they lose again in the SEC tournament. Should SC lose, I think the last #1 will be whichever team, Louisville or NC St, wins the ACC tournament.
There’s a lot of dominoes involved. What if Stanford gets knocked off in the Pac12 tournament? What if UConn gets knocked off in the BE....,?I dont think 1 good win is going to be enough to get Louisville a #1. If SC & NCSt lose, I suspect it'll be Maryland or possibly Baylor.
If TAMU loses, they probably hold the last #1, unless NCSt wins the ACCT.
UConn, Stanford, and A&M's resumes are strong enough that a conference tournament loss is unlikely to drop them off the #1 line. And even if they do lose, Louisville ain't jumping them given the lack of high-quality ACC teams.There’s a lot of dominoes involved. What if Stanford gets knocked off in the Pac12 tournament?

Based on AP polls, South Carolina is #7 overall, that is far away from the #1 seed.
The AP poll is entirely irrelevant to tournament seeding.Based on AP polls, South Carolina is #7 overall, that is far away from the #1 seed.
Cause it’s UConn.........Fans of other programs and some in the Media say the same thing about UConn. Why is UConn a #1 seed as they don't pass the eye test and don't have the Strength of Schedule?
I think Creme "ranks" the teams, and wants to influence the committee. My opinion.Creme does not rank the teams. He tries to predict how the committee will rank the teams.
Those are very different things.
Not really - he tries to create storylines that the ESPN crew can spend 10 minutes talking about while ignoring the game being played.Creme does not rank the teams. He tries to predict how the committee will rank the teams.

Wait! How exactly does UConn not pass the eye test? What is the eye test?Fans of other programs and some in the Media say the same thing about UConn. Why is UConn a #1 seed as they don't pass the eye test and don't have the Strength of Schedule?
Exactly who has Baylor beaten? The BIG 12 consists of one good team, a sometimes good team (WVa) and the rest of the conference. But they have Championship history so maybe they deserve a 1 seed.Stanford is and neither Maryland or Louisville should be, but Baylor is the one that might deserve an explanation. The reveal was made prior to Sunday games.
And one of those losses was without their AA. The committee has excused losses due to injuries as long as the player was back playing. NCSt gets shuffled back by the media mostly because they play defense, which hasn't the glamour. I'll guarantee that where ever NCSt lands as a 2 the 1's coach will whine.Why is Stanford included in the question? They're overall #2.
