I’ve decided it’s time to shake things up. Instead of doing the rankings as usual, I’m going to transition to something more like Bracket seeding. It was a wild weekend in college basketball and it’s starting to get serious with the bracketology. I thought I would take a look at a couple of the high profile brackets and then come up with my own seeding, about the first 6 seeds. I’m looking at the brackets from Lunardi, Palm, NBC and Bracket Wag. It looks like a couple of these haven’t updated since the losses on Saturday, but it gives me a starting point.
Not all the brackets provided a true seed list, but I did my best to figure it out. By averaging them, the true seeding list (1-6) would be something like:
- Kansas
- Baylor
- San Diego St
- Gonzaga
- Dayton
- Duke
- Maryland
- Florida St.
- Creighton
- Seton Hall
- Villanova
- Kentucky
- Louisville
- Penn St
- Oregon
- West Virginia
- Auburn
- Colorado
- Butler
- Michigan St
- Iowa
- Arizona
- Ohio St
- Marquette
Like I said, a couple of these brackets haven’t been updated since the Saturday games. Arizona, Ohio St, and Marquette, as well as BYU and Michigan, didn’t appear in the top six seeds of all the brackets. I did a guesstimate to come up with this average of the top 1-6 seeds. So, that’s going to be what I start with. I’ll provide my true seeding below and then continue to update until Selection Sunday.
- Kansas
- Baylor
- San Diego St
- Gonzaga
- Dayton
- Florida St
- Duke
- Maryland
- Kentucky
- Villanova
- Creighton
- Seton Hall
- Oregon
- Louisville
- Auburn
- West Virginia
- Penn St
- Colorado
- Arizona
- Ohio St
- Michigan
- BYU
- Michigan St
- Iowa
