IOWA a #2 Seed, Illinois & Michigan a 1 in Latest (March14) ESPN Bracketology. Jerry Palm: Iowa a 2. Mike DeCoursy: Iowa a 2. Bracket Matrix: Iowa a 2

Why? Almost losing to a 2 - 23 team on your home floor and losing 2 more at the end of their schedule makes Baylor also look pretty wobbly.
I think Gonzaga will be #1 overall and Illinois #2 overall, where they are in opposite brackets, where we see them playing for the National Championship
Baylor & Michigan will likely get the other #1 seeds
@TheTruthTheWholeTruth , what do you think? Can another team steal a #1 seed away from the above 4 mentioned teams?
Alabama up on Miss St 47-19 at the half.
Nope. I would also venture the committee has already set the 1 and 2 line.

interesting; did you see that by tonight they wanted to have the field of 68 selected so that starting tomorrow they can seed & bracket?
Makes sense to me. Bid stealing should be complete after today’s action. Maybe that means St Louis is already in the field?
Not sure about St Louis and other bubble teams
I just hope an eligible team does not get disqualified because of covid protocols

See 2 posts up. Lunardi has Iowa/Illinois in same region.

I’m locked in Baylor/Iowa as well. I hope Oklahoma is the 7.
must be his seed list because in the bracket he has us in Baylor's region
When the NCAA revealed their Top 16, Mike Decourcy wrote a column & said that the Selection Committee was relying on NET in seeding teams 1-16.
But for seeding teams 17-68, I have no idea what that process looks like and how much NET is used.
I guess i am gonna be shocked if we are not in Baylor's or Gonzaga's region.
do you think that holds for Ohio State as well?
if so, that makes it possible for an all B1G Final 4

Yes, top 4 seedlines are subject to conference affiliation rules.

The top 4 will be spilt up. Purdue could end up as a 4 with Illinois/Michigan.
I’m surprised by how many bracket guys I’ve seen this morning that still have Iowa ahead of Ohio St. I’m assuming they’re accounting for OSU beating Mich without Livers.

They still more than pass the eyeball test. They have lost a couple in the past few weeks, but both were to Top 25 teams. You are right in that they are not ass pounding opponents by 30-50 points like the first half of the year. B12 is pretty decent and conference games have been competitive.
Yes, a bit more wobbly but still only have lost two games and they are not in some mid major shitshow conference. Michigan has players dropping left and right and looks quite beatable. They will likely regroup for the tourney. We shall see.
I’m down to Utah St, Louisville, and Drake for two spots. I hate Louisville’s resume but the committee always favors the P6 teams.....
Here’s how I finished out Iowa’s side of the bracket opposite Baylor
6. Texas Tech
11. Cuse/Drake
3. Arkansas
14. E Wash
7. Oregon
10. St Bonnie
2. Iowa
15. Iona.
