Pretty cool. The un-played games have the favorite in red. Hit submit, and you can see the final seeds, assuming all the favorites in red win the remaining games.

You can also change any of the predicted results in red, then hit submit again, and see how it affects the seeding.

For example, right now, if Memphis beats UH, we are the 4 seed. Lose and we could be the 5 to 7 seed, depending on other results.

From messing with that site, for the 4 seed between WSU and Memphis, it's WSU has it all scenarios but 2.

1. Memphis Beats Houston
2. Memphis loses to Houston, WSU Loses to Tulsa, SMU loses to USF and UCONN loses to Tulane.

I didn't realize there was a way Memphis could lose to UH and still get the 4 seed. I thought we had to beat Houston, period.

Actually, the best draw situation for Memphis is to lose to UH, and have Tulsa beat Wichita. We would wind up the 5 seed, but avoid UH and UC until the final.

Ironically for WSU, the best AAC tourney path would be Lose to Tulsa, Houston beats Memphis, UCONN and SMU both win. Would put WSU at the 4 with Houston, Cincy, UCONN, Memphis, and Temple all on the other side.

WSU would have the winner of Tulane/SMU, then Winner of Tulsa, USF, UCF to get to the championship. Based on how WSU has struggled vs Houston, Cincy, Memphis and Temple the last few years .. that's our best scenario. BUT would also likely kill at-large chances by losing to Tulsa at home.

Which puts us both in the position of having to win the AACT, which is why the draw becomes important.

looking at the calculator, a toss up game that could completely flip around the bracket is smu @ usf,... no one will care about that game and either can win, and it could drastically change how the brackets look...that game could potential have houston, uconn, cincy and memphis all on the same side of the bracket..and tulsa and wichita the only real contenders on the other side ...

Please don't lose to Tulsa a second time.

Somebody wants a championship.
