Wow.  I must have done something to the committee.  Did I bump into them and not say excuse me yesterday?  Have I wronged them in some way?That is the only explanation for Butler's seed.  A seven.  That means Purdue, USC (11 losses), and Oklahoma (double-digit losses) are better than them in the committee's mind.  Butler should have been a five seed.  The tourney committee obviously doesn't have any hometown bias.  There is no Indiana team with a seed 4 or better.  All of the teams were ranked, however.That being said, I am going to be…

I've got Arizona State in the poll with Virginia Tech nipping at their heels.

Butler got crapped over by the selection committee big time. The fans have a right to be mad. Before, they had a chance at the Elite 8, but with their seed they probably won't make it past the second round.

Washington State is incredibly overrated. And I can only wonder how much juice Pitt has left after that incredible run in the Big East tourney.

Wow, IrishR#1, this is going to take a lot of work. Thanks for doing it, though. Maybe should have just formed a private group on the Seth Davis bracket challenge?

The teams that have had the most success in the tournament have done well in their conference tournaments. I do expect that to end, however, with all of the upsets.

Pitt was ranked too high, they got their ranking solely off their 2 Gtown wins
