There is a reason I don't take these seriously. For example, I understand this rule:
But it completely screws up the seeding. Anyone that follows College Basketball knows Stephen F Austin is a lights out team- clearly the best along with Sam Houston St- in the Southland Conference, but LaMar gets the bid as they've played easier teams (they are in the easier division of that conference- they lost to Stephen F Austin as well). There is no way in hell LaMar wins the conference tournament. Stephen F. Austin is fully capable of doing this year what Bucknell did in '04-'05 and '05-'06. LaMar is in the play-in game. Whereas, if they put Stephen F. Austin in (as they will probably win the Conference- them or Sam Houston St), the Lumberjacks would be a 13 or 14 seed. It is also a joke he has Massachusetts in over St. Joseph's. St. Joseph's has a better overall record than the Minutemen, far better in the Atlantic-10 standings, and even swept them this year. And for the love of God, give the Drake Bulldogs the respect it deserves. That is clearly a 3-seed team. A 6-seed (barring a loss to Butler and in the MVC) is completely ludicrous. Not as bad as George Washington getting a #8 seed 2 years ago, but the most ridiculous seed since. |

You're not supposed to take it seriously. It's for fun. And discussion. |

Glad to see UMass as a 10 seed. The A-10 is getting a ton of respect this year, a lot more than the Valley two years ago I think. |

I would say the Atlantic-10 is stronger than half the BCS Conferences. |

I would like Baylor's draw in that tournament. Gonzaga is a beatable team, and I Tennessee doesn't impress me. I could easily see the Bears in the elite 8 in that tourney. |

I see. My bad. There are several flaws in it though imo (i.e.: Stephen F Austin, Oklahoma, Drake, Saint Joseph's, etc.) This is how I'd see the hypothetical bracket unfolding... #1 Duke #8 Mississippi #4 Notre Dame #12 Virginia Commonwealth #3 Xavier #11 Mississippi State #2 Texas #7 Marquette -------------------------- #1 Kansas #9 Dayton #5 Indiana #13 Davidson #6 Drake #3 Connecticut #2 North Carolina #7 Saint Mary's ---------------------------- #1 Memphis #9 Maryland #5 Butler #13 South Alabama #3 Stanford #11 UNLV #2 Georgetown #10 Massachusetts ----------------------------- #1 UCLA #8 Rhode Island #4 Louisville #5 Kansas State #3 Michigan State #6 Pittsburgh #2 Tennessee #10 Gonzaga _________________________________________ #1 Duke #12 Virginia Commonwealth (wow, what a match up this would be) #3 Xavier #2 Texas ---------------------- #9 Dayton #13 Davidson #2 North Carolina #6 Drake --------------------- #1 Memphis #13 South Alabama #2 Georgetown #11 UNLV -------------------- #1 UCLA #5 Kansas State #2 Tennessee #3 Michigan State _________________________________ Elite-8 #1 Duke #3 Xavier #2 North Carolina #13 Davidson (Duke-VCU scenario... in a way... scary) #1 Memphis #2 Georgetown #2 Tennessee #5 Kansas State _________________________________ Final Four #1 Duke vs. #13 Davidson #2 Georgetown vs. #2 Tennessee National Championship #2 Georgetown over #1 Duke The mid-majors had really good match-ups in this bracket... |

:( You bumped Mason after one round. Probably gonna happen this year -- they can't win away from home. |

There's 4-5 seeds there George Mason can beat- Butler is not one of them. |
