Selection Sunday Predictions

Updated with results in italics

Your number one seeds are: North Carolina, UCLA, Kansas and Memphis
Easy

Number two seeds are: Tennessee, Texas, Georgetown and Wisconsin
Curveball here as the Committee went with Duke over Wisconsin

Drake and Butler won't get the respect they deserve in the seedings. I think they both deserve to be 4s.
I was right here, but it wasn't just me, both teams were below where Joe Lunardi had them too.

The Big East will lead all conferences with 7 bids but Villanova does not get it.
Villanova got in, presumably as the last at large, giving the Big East 8 teams, 50% of the conference.

This is a random one but I think the Big East will get a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and an 8 seed.
Close, they got a 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7.

The Pac-10 will get 6, Oregon and Arizona will be among the last few teams in, Arizona State will be among the last teams out.
This was another easy one.

The Atlantic 10, which could have gotten 1 team if Xavier won the tournament, will now get 3, with Temple and St. Joseph's.
Right again, as St. Joe's was one of the last teams in. The Hawk will never die!

The Committee will remember this time that BYU needs to be in a region where they can play all their games on Thursdays and Saturdays.
They won't make that mistake again.
