1. Texas 2. USC 3. Minnesota 4. Wisconsin 5. A&M 6. Washington 7. Nebraska 8. Florida 9. PSU 10. Stanford 11. UCLA 12. Kansas 13. BYU 14. Mezzo 15. Ohio St. 16. Louisville This would be a best case scenario for Kansas - I suspect Wisconsin would happily take this one also (compared to Minnesota). This wouldn't be so good for UCLA. Interesting how who one may play is so much more important than where one is seeded. Everyone is jockeying for A&M match-up for a trip to the final four. Maybe everyone should be careful of what they wish for. |

There are certain teams I'm looking forward to seeing in the tournament, mostly because they've had success and I haven't seen them most of the season: Hawaii. BYU, and Ohio State. BTW, I hope Nebraska is sent to Texas. I'm not a fan of either, but I'd predict that the Huskers crush Texas. That loss early in the season means zero!

This has to be largest difference between 1 seed spot in the entire list of 16 seeds. |

Here is what I guess fir the top 16 seeds...based on nothing much at all. I didn't worry about matchups, only what seemed sensible seedings. Didn't come out the way I would have liked!
1. USC
2. Minnesota
3. Texas
4. Washington
5. Nebraska
6. Texas A&M
7. Wisconsin
8. Florida
9. Kansas
10. Stanford
11. Penn State
12. UCLA
13. OSU
14. BYU
15. Western Kentucky
16. Missouri
Don't think Louisville will make it with that last loss. But if they do, they go to 16 and Missou at 15.

Yeah, all things equal I would still want to see the Huskers play A&M for a final four spot as opposed to Washington or Wisconsin, but I do respect A&M as dangerous. They have enough top 25 wins to warrant respect. |

Is that right? Jackson St.(15-21) plays Minnesota. That's a bad win/loss record.

Ive seen both play I'd favor Pitt jeez, have some humor Trojan man, you guys are the #1 seed, and you thrashed UCLA yesterday in football - you'd think you'd be in a better mood ! at least you have a team to root for - while I'm marking my calendar for august 25th, 2016 you may have missed 2 in 4 years, hell, the NCAA gets 2-3 wrong every year with this f%&king system/guidelines 3-0 versus the top 5 in the WCC and we can't even get in the frggn tournament - off till next year |

And why would so many at large teams with poor records compared to Long Beach get invited. The system is F*&%- #@. I know it is the same complaint every year so what. I need to blow off steam at the RPI travesty. |

Trojansc, really appreciate your analysis and work on the forum. I leave the posts to others, and enjoy reading the homer posts on so many threads, so know that even if you are a USC alum/fan, your effort is acknowledged.
