Selection Sunday

[AE Braves Fan]

I'll squash this conspiracy theory right now: the non-BCS vs. non-BCS matchups in the tourney....that conspiracy theory is the stupidest one in the history of sport. That doesn't happen, period, and no one can even control it to rig it that way.

It happens every year.

Worst matchup ever was 7/10 Creighton/Nevada (don't remember who had what seed). But, both teams WERE RANKED IN THE TOP 25!! How can two ranked teams square off in the first round?!?

The Valley beating Kansas early again?? Man that is a tough draw to try and get to the Sweet Sixteen for UNI. UNLV will be tough in the first round, the Valley needs to win a tourny game, it has been a while.

[Bravesfan]

No hints yet on who that last team in will be...

SDSU an 11 and UNLV an 8...hmmmmm....think they got that backwards...


I thought they'd match up UNI with either UTEP or Utah State...guess not.

UNLV had a much stronger resume than SDSU though, so I think that was fair. Agreed that I thought UNI would be seeded higher though.

[BradleyBrave]

Gonzaga an 8?

Butler-UTEP...I was close.

[Bravesfan]

What the....? Gonzaga a #8 seed, right near UNI? Interesting!

And UTEP is in, so that's one bubble burst.

[Bravesfan]

Oh come on! Florida a 10? What are they smoking in that room?

And Minnesota in! Hmmmm.....

[Da Coach]

How about Georgetown getting a #3 seed? Yes they made it to the final of the Big East Tournament, but they were ranked 22nd, and were tied for 7th in their conference (and got the 8th seed!).

I doubt any team in history has been an 8th seed in their conference tournament, and yet gotten a #3 seed in the NCAA Tournament!

Yeah but DC, "teams get bids and proper seeding, not conferences"!

[Tulsa Brave]

Florida a 10?

Butler vs. UTEP???? There's your 12/5 upset folks.

Looks bad now for Va. Tech, Illinois, Miss. St., and Utah St. There's only room for 1 of those 4.

Well on ESPN earlier they were talking about them being a 2-seed! At least they didn't get that, but I agree majors are getting too high of seeds, and mid-majors way too low of seeds it seems.

Some of these seeds, I have no idea where they're coming from, because it's not coming from common sense.

It won't be Utah St.

Except for Butler and UTEP. Those two teams got accurate seeding IMO. But Gonzaga just one seed higher than UNI, who was way underseeded themselves? Come on! Look who Gonzaga played this year!

[Bravesfan]

It won't be Utah St.

It will either be Miss St. or Illinois. Maybe both if Cal gets passed over!

Yes those 2 are correct, noth BYU a 7?? UNI of 9??? Gonzaga an 8???? I'm probably forgetting some too, but come on. Florida is a 10 too, give me a break.
