    So that ought to make us a 10-11 seed, right? You know, after they get done "adjusting for conference matchups, travel distance for Big10 fans, and any interesting matchups we might like to see in the 2nd or 3rd rounds."

    • Got a feeling we gonna end up a 8 or 9 seed in OKC and play OU in the 2nd round if we win

        Last year WSU was a 6 seed according to the S-Curve and received a 7 to play KU in Omaha. By rule, the committee can't move a team more than 1 seed away from their "true seed" when making "adjustments". My concern is not the adjustments, its the original "true seed".

        It is encouraging to see WSU listed as 28 on the S-Curve right now. Based on that, WSU would be a single digit seed today regardless of any bracket arrangement shenanigans the committee might pull. A 6, 7, or 8 would be their only options.

            I'd prefer The Natty be WSU vs OU with two years of already scheduled rematches.

            • Quick question: Is this happening today or did it take place yesterday?

              The linked Yahoo article is dated 2/10 and states '...meeting tomorrow and we will a mock seeding before we adjourn'. I'm just curious if the Indiana and Cal wins last night were already factored in? Or if WSU is likely to actually be #30 after those two results.

                It has been taking place today and yesterday.

                    • The Flagship displaying its immunity to actual results, as always. If they and Villanova both end up as #1s, there will be a lot of brackets busted this year.

                        • By the way, to the extent that trying to schedule well matters, WSU stands out.

                          I just looked at KenPom's ratings (in which WSU is now #11, a bit ahead of the other teams in the .90xx range, and well behind #9 North Carolina and #10 West Virginia at .9185), and WSU's schedule strength rank is #18. There are only six other teams in KenPom's top 25 whose SOS ranks are in the top 100, with the next closest being Kentucky at #58 -- got that key game with The Flagship in there -- and Valpo at #61: not exactly two peas in a pod.

                            • Final of the Mock Selection. WSU a #7 seed facing San Diego St in Spokane. Oregon is the #2 seed.

                                KU has just as good of a case for a 1 seed as anyone else in the nation at this point in the season. But since you called them "The Flagship", you obviously have some deep hatred of them like most on here do, so I understand why you think they suck. I mean, they're 20-4 and they've lost 3 of their 4 games to KenPom top 17 teams. That's not bad.

                                I'd like to hear who you think should be a #1 seed. I bet I can poke holes in all their cases and it wouldn't be too difficult.

                                Anyway, there are going to be a lot of brackets busted no matter who is a 1 seed this year because there aren't any standout teams in college basketball. Everyone in the top 25 is basically interchangeable at this point.
