Your entire post including quotes was the basketball forum version of

The reality is: our perception and seeding hinges so much on these next 3 games.

Go 0-3 : drop from top 25, drop multiple seed lines
Go 1-3 drop out of top 15, still in running for 4-5 seed
Go 2-1: maintain top 15 rank , still 3-4 seed with room for growth
Go 3-0 and we control our destiny for a 1-2 seed.


I’ll tell you this though, I think I’d rather be the top 3 or 2 seed then to be the lowest 1 seed out west again

I will say Im really nervous about this 3 game stretch. But I'm a nervous fan in general and so far, this team has proven that it rises to the challenge.

But no doubt about it, this 3 game stretch is brutal and also crucial. Winning on the road is really really hard.

Even as an optimistic fan, I'm a little nervous lol. But like you said, this team has proven it can rise to the occasion. I really think 2-1 is worst case though.

www.bracketmatrix.com

Compiles over 70 different people who do this. Shows average, high and low ranges, and links to each guys bracket. I think the wisdom of the crowds is pretty much +/- 1 seed line come selection Sunday for the vast majority of teams.


Also really like warren Nolan's site for tracking RPI. We all know the metric is dumb, but the committee use it and this is updated in real time almost instantly, gives projections, impact games that you can see what if stuff for rankings depending on future outcomes etc. Lots of cool features

Up to 5 #1 seeds now

Kansas, Purdue, Oklahoma, Virginia, Tennessee all lost today. All are in the 1-3 battle.

I think there is a realistic chance Cincy is ranked as a 1 seed by the committee tomorrow. I will still be ecstatic by 5 or 6. Go 3-0 and theres very little doubt we'll be holding a 1 seed. Then we'll have UConn and Tulsa at home.

Next three games will be the difference in a 1 seed and 4 seed.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

I think we'll be a 2 seed tomorrow. I don't follow this as closely as all y'all though.

I’m going with 2 or at worst highest 3.

1 seeds are tough to break into.

But tomorrow means nothing with out the win @smu

Lunardi came out with what he thinks willl happen tomorrow. Cats as the third 2 seed.
