Who gets the better seed?

[Hawkfan_08]

It's interesting because I think the men are at a 7 for most polls and the women a 6.

Rankings, which mean nothing for the selection committees, are very close. Iowa men at #25 and will be probably around 21ish next week. Iowa women at #21 and will be around 19ish next week.

Women have 3 Q1 wins (I think it's only 3?)
Men have 1 Q1 win.

When it's said and done, who gets the better seed and what do you think it will be?

My guess:
Men 7
Women 5

My guess is somehow the Women sneak into a 4 seed and host....

NCAA likes money, and Iowa selling out Sunday's game vs Michigan (and a win in that game) will put Iowa having won 3 games in the last 4 vs. Top 10 teams / Co-BigTen champs.

Now BTT will mean something to, if they make the Championship game they'll be a lock for 4 seed or better.


oh, and then there's this Caitlyn Clark...... she's not to bad of a draw for attendance and TV Ratings.

Lunardi has bumped the men up to the #6 line as of today, playing UNC in Milwaukee. Me likey!

I wish he was good at what he does

He’s better than most, but definitely not the best. CBS still has us on the 10 line, a definite WTF projection.

Is that Dodd?

I think the women just earned a #4 today.

Duh. Women win the B1G, men might finish 4th if everything breaks perfectly. Not exactly hard to predict.

No, Jerry Palm does the bracketology on CBSSPORTS.COM. I noticed today they finally bumped Iowa up to the # 9 line. It’s the worst projection out there IMO.

If Iowa doesn't win again, or maybe only vs NW, #9 might happen, but just two wins will give the Hawks at least a #8 and maybe #7. # 6 is possible, but we probably need 3 or more wins.

Which tournament are we predicting?

Lots of games left to be played....

Bracket Matrix has Iowa as the second 7 seed. That seems about right, in my opinion.

This goes without saying, but a lot could change between now and selection Sunday. Finishing 3-0 with a strong showing in the BTT could get Iowa into a 4 seed. Going 1-2 and getting bounced in the first BTT game and we could be looking at a 9/10 seed.

I'd put my money on the women. Bigger wins thus far, Big Ten regular season champs, and a star head and shoulders above all others in Clark.
