Updated seed list - based on games played on March 9

Lots of important games yesterday.  Biggest changes to the seed list are:

  • Kansas moving up to the top overall seed after posting a 16th win against Q1 teams.  Pretty difficult to see how they don't keep this even if they don't win their conference tournament.
  • Nevada dropping down from a should be in to just above the cut line on the bubble.  They likely only need to win last night to put them in the locks group, but not they will might have a long wait on Sunday evening.
  • Oklahoma St. and Michigan moving to the bottom of the bubble list after getting their 15th loss.  Probably should come right off the list after hitting that magic number, but if bubble teams keep losing, you never know.
  • Penn St. moves on to the good side of the bubble list with a quality win last night after Oklahoma St. took itself out of contention.

If Penn St. wins, they move up to bump Missouri and others down. If Dayton wins, they move up to bump Col. of Charleston and others down and VCU comes off the board.

NCAA MBB - predicting the field of 68

I've been doing various sports predictions for over 20 years, mostly for the NHL, the NFL, and NCAA men's basketball. Never been much of a bettor, but I've been able to upgrade my TV a couple of times, get a nice stereo, plus a few nice LEGO sets from participating in office pools over the years. I've been predicting the field for the NCAA men's basketball champtionship since 2005, mostly just for fun as there are not a lot of pools for this that I've been able to find.  A few years ago, I came across the  BracketProject  and found it a useful site to compare my results with many others who have significant interest in NCAA MBB. This year, I am finally getting around to setting up a blog so that I can get my predictions recorded in the BracketProject results. Here is my first pass at picking the seeds for this year's tournament.  I will try to update this most days right up until Selection Sunday.
