There is a gun check point in Wichita.

If you don't have a gun, they give you one.

Many publications are predicting Cincinnati to be a 6 seed. How the hell can that be when they are in the top 10 ?

Also predicting Wichita to be an 11 seed ? WTH ? Some of these so called experts aren't paying attention.

That was an old joke about Miami among us Central Floridians back in the 80's when, even back then, everyone knew how nasty and violent Miami was.

Besides, what if I am older than you ? If so, it becomes a situation like Professor Farnsworth and Fry.

I'm not sure where you're seeing that. Bracketmatrix, which has 105 brackets, lists UC as a 6 in just 5 of those (1 has us as a 7 and 1 as an 8). The average is a 3.51. I only saw 1 of the 105 that has WSU as an 11, and 1 as a 9. Their average is 5.77. Which brackets are you looking at?

Daily RPI I think. However, Jerry Palm has SMU and Houston getting in also as 11 seeds - which makes more sense.

Funny - I just found that. Daily RPI has UC as a 6, WSU 11, and no other AAC teams. We'll just call that an extreme outlier.

So a site called 'Daily RPI' puts RPI 15 (4 seed) as a 6 seed and RPI 26 (7 seed) as an 11?

Makes sense.

Poll rankings are not always a good indication of seeding.

2017- WSU was #21 on selection sunday and got a 10 seed.
2015- WSU was #12 on selection sunday and got a 7 seed.

They're projecting the committee's take on our ****** SOS vs. RPI/BPI/Sag/KPom. They know how terrible UC's schedule is, and how we still haven't beaten a sure-fire tourney team 2/3 of the way into the season. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if we're 2 seed lines below expectations come Selection Sunday.

Maybe they should pay attention to the rankings as we outperformed our seed both of those years.

Most likely. Its just surprising the effect was so noticable. Tulsa's elite eight year was a similar set up.
