I’ve never really followed the talk of committee has already place the top however many seed, I think people usually say down to the 5 line? Like what about the rest… most the teams still playing are higher seeds, so why wouldn’t they have already seeded those middling lines and mid major AQ’s first?

I think it’s all just exactly what the committee is supposed to be doing and an echo chamber that makes it more than it is… committee meets each day to put together a bracket, I’m sure they are doing just that. And as more data is added that bracket stays fluid. We are in a good spot to get a 3 seed, let’s just stay competitive tonight and go from there.

Is there a picture of Scheyer where he’s not doing a Jim Carrey face?

Bracket matrix hasn’t updated yet but clicking through some of the individual brackets im seeing virginia as a 3 seed in significantly more brackets this morning. Probably still going to average out to be behind Nebraska and Gonzaga on the next update, though but we’ll see.

Almost feels like a loss tonight just bumps us back to the 4 line and a win puts us on the 2 line

I kind of buy that the committee doesn’t really give weight to the Sunday afternoon conference title games, since some end like 2 hours before the completed bracket is due. But I definitely think they pay attention through the Saturday games.

CBS has it right this morning and we should shut it down and just make this reality.

*other than being in Arizona’s bracket but we can cross that bridge when we get there. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/bracketology/

What the hell, is Lunardi sleeping in?

I feel like I’m going crazy seeing Alabama ahead of us in multiple top-10 bracketologists’ morning updates today…what is the argument? Lower in all resume metrics and the majority of predictives, one fewer Q1 win in 3 more chances, one additional Q2 loss, not to mention Bediako. It would just feel like the committee throwing them a bone for their NCSOS

How do you have Gonzaga and Nebraska above us man

I feel like theres a better case to jump UVA over msu for the last 2 than putting us on the 4 line

It’s still pretty simple. If we win tonight we’re a 3-seed, otherwise we’re a 4. In the case of the latter, the quality loss crowd will trot out the argument that we’re an overrated fraud, and that will be that.

So honestly I don’t care. This team is damn good and primed to make a deep run. If we’re a 4, I pity the one-seed that has to face us in the Sweet Sixteen.

Lunardi finally woke up and did his ONE JOB.

Still has us as a 4. His 3s includes Gonzaga and Nebraska.

lol- I do get a kick every year about how little Lunardi updates the brackets/S curve. This is his time. You would think he would be churning out the updates/scenarios non stop during championship week.

Georgia Tech as an 8 seed is a strong play

Yes but losing to ucla by 20 and Purdue by 16 are QuaLiTY LoSseS so they dont count.

Losing to Duke by 26 proves that UVA doesnt belong though (but dont look at Gonzaga’s results too closely)

Maybe the committee wont outright penalize Alabama for Bediako but come on…theyre not going to give them the benefit of the doubt over Virginia.
