All you guys scare me to death. I know its just my silly superstitions but I wish we would really focus on one game at a time. We keep winning and our seeding will take care of itself. Again I know its just me being nervous and its fun to project but I perfer the guys not look ahead.
 
The bubble teams need San Diego State or New Mexico to win the MWC tournament or it could become a 3 bid league. The same for the Missouri Valley, if Wichita St. doesn't win the conference tourney the MVC becomes a 2 bid league.

Yep. That is 2 more examples where the bubble isn't likely to be very friendly this year.
 
No idea why Louisville still isn't a "lock." Pretty sure even if they somehow lost all their remaining games they'd make the tourney.

They probably would. However they currently just have 3 top 50 RPI wins. SMU is barely hanging on at 49 right now and the other wins is over Southern Miss. Really the only tournament quality win they can hang their hat on is the road win against UConn. Right now their resume is very weak. However they still have @UC, @Memphis, @SMU and vs UConn. The chances are there for them to get some good wins...
 
Today's bracketology Lunardi still has UC as a #4 seed in the South regional playing Delaware then Iowa/Harvard with Florida as the #1 seed.

The bubble just keeps getting worse year after year. Lunardi has SIX Big East teams and four of them are double digit seeds.

Bracket matrix has Cincinnati as the last #3 seed.

conference tourney upsets and the top big east teams playing each other down the stretch will cause that number to fall.
 
We were a 3 briefly before the SMU loss. Its strange to me there's such a difference between Linardi and Palms predictions.
 
Lunardi's newest update has Cincinnati as a #4 seed vs Stephen F. Austin in the Midwest region playing in San Diego. The #5 seed in Kentucky. Would be cool to play them (though they are a tough match up for UC), and if UC could win the regional final is in Indianapolis.

Bracketology is useless for discussing match ups, but I want no part of Kentucky. They are a terrible match up for UC.

Probably already in here but it compiles all the guys who do this with links to their brackets and gives an average seed overall.

UC currently the highest 4 seed average wise at 3.73.

Fits with being on the border of 3/4 seed.

Except it kind of is because the teams seed 4/5/6 are the types of teams UC will likely see in the second round. Kentucky is definitely in that group along with schools like UCLA, Michigan, St. Louis, Iowa, etc...

My point wasn't that it would be impossible to draw UK, just that our second round draw could be any of about 15 teams right now. Bracketology gives you a good idea of where you are. Trying to guess who you are going to play is basically a crapshoot though because 1.) it introduces another variable when so much can still change and 2.) bracketologists aren't going to predict the s-curve perfectly.

I'm hoping its not UK though. We do not match up well with them.
