Beating TX twice and winning the b12 title ain’t nothing.
Well so much for VaTech nabbing a 1. They just got handily beat by Notre Dame. It can still happen but they're down the depth chart now compared to having a clear track entering today.
1 South Carolina
2 Ohio St
3 Stanford
4 UCLA
5 Virginia Tech
6 Texas
7 Iowa
8 USC
9 LSU
10 UConn
11 NC St
12 Oregon St
13 Colorado
14 Indiana
15 Gonzaga
16 Oklahoma
If this were the final seeding, the committee might quietly swap Colorado and Oregon State to let OSU play close to home, while letting Colorado have the privilege of not being in a regional with another top 16 Pac-12 team.Those 5 PAC teams create all sorts of seeding problems.
With Stanford UCLA USC in the other 3 regions, Ore St is forced into Albany 1. Bad to not have them in Portland.
I suspect in a final bracket UConn and LSU would be swapped. Also balances bracket strength better.
The committee can't do that, quietly or otherwise. The top four teams selected from the conference must go into different regions.If this were the final seeding, the committee might quietly swap Colorado and Oregon State to let OSU play close to home, while letting Colorado have the privilege of not being in a regional with another top 16 Pac-12 team.
It's up to them what order to select the teams in. So they could have decided to put Colorado just over OSU instead of just under.The committee can't do that, quietly or otherwise. The top four teams selected from the conference must go into different regions.
What they perhaps could have done is send Stanford or UCLA out to Albany to make space for Oregon State in Portland.
Don't think it works that way. The seeding happens first, then the bracketing. They don't reverse engineer the seeds just to keep one team close to home.It's up to them what order to select the teams in. So they could have decided to put Colorado just over OSU instead of just under.
You do know VT got beat last night?Sc OhioSt Stan have 1 seed locked up
Last spot to pac12 champ, Iowa, or Vt
Really don’t see LSU jumping from 3 seed to 1 seed. The only Top 25 win they jhave is VaTech, correct? Even if they beat S.C. there are several teams above them that would have a better resume. I never say never but I don’t see a road to get there.You do know VT got beat last night?
I say:
SCar
Stanford
tOSU or Iowa if one wins out from here
TBD*
Texas but only if they win out from here
UCLA for sure if they win out maybe even they survive a loss in the PAC tourney
LSU if they win Win out and neither team above does
ACC I just don't see one strong enough

Yeah, it would require chaos above them, but the P-5 tournaments can provide that chaosReally don’t see LSU jumping from 3 seed to 1 seed. The only Top 25 win they jhave is VaTech, correct?

I understand that, but there’s a reason they are a 3 seed even with all the chaos going on above them. I guess we shall see.Yeah, it would require chaos above them, but the P-5 tournaments can provide that chaos
If iowa wins out, doubtful they move all the way to 2 overall, and certainly not if ucla or Stanford win the pac.South Carolina will be the highest #1
Big 10 Champion will be second #1
Pac 12 Champion will be third #1
Big 10 Runner up will be 4th #1
Pac 12 Runner up will be highest #2
ACC Winner will be the second #2
UConn will be the third #2
Big 12 Winner will be the fourth #2
Just my opinion
