Also, if we drop more than 2 games before the end of the regular season I'm afraid our resume will come under serious scrutiny. I think right now our range is anywhere from a 2-7 seed...Though I think I'll feel equally confident if we make it past the first round irregardless of which seed we end up with.

Not me. And risk getting a matchup with Nova in the S16? Nah

Villanova has lost in the 2nd round the last 2 times it has been a 1 seed. Of course with our luck UC would get Villanova in the Sweet 16 and not a 8 or 9 seed.

The top 3 one seeds are no brainers and are likely to still be on selection Sunday.

The 4th one seed is going to be a crap shoot and there is the potential for there to be a ton of volatility there up to selection Sunday. As of today, Xavier certainly has a resume good enough to claim it.

I think Clemson is a hair to high. I think Auburn and Kansas have the best resumes of the two seeds based on the stated selection criteria. I think the other two seeds and the four 3 seeds are fairly interchangeable in their resumes. I think there is a decent drop off after Texas Tech.

Great take altogether. Obviously the one I care about - UC - will have plenty of opportunities to prove it over this month. Let them all make us 3 or 4 for now. But, if UC takes care of business down the stretch, they'll play their way into something much higher.

Last three times actually. Jay Wright has only been past the first weekend once in the last 8 years. Kind of hard to believe.

Lunadri moves UC to a 2 after last night's craziness.

Can you imagine if that happened and in Nashville to boot?

We've got some good ju-ju in Nashville...I have been pulling for us to jump Tennessee and Auburn to get that Nashville spot for weeks. Here's hoping it plays out that way!
