The WAY too early bracketology. Big 12 gets respect

Way-Too-Early men's Bracketology: Houston is No. 1, and we'll have a new WAC champ

Grand Canyon moved up its timeline to switch from the WAC to the Mountain West, which significantly shifts the bracket dynamics.

I realize it's "just Lunardi" and it's only April ... that draw would be somewhat favorable.

Iowa as a 9 seed with a new coach and entirely new roster. I mean, I guess they are the Iowa Bulldogs now, so some of that does make sense. Still really curious how those guys do through the grind of a conference season as they step up.

Yeah...new coach and new program...but could you imagine that second round potential matchup for the Hawks? Houston? Literally men vs boys...but again, new era in IC so we will see!

As far as guesses go, I've seen worse from Lunardi. Alabama as a 6 seed seems low. UCLA as 4 seeds feels generous, but mostly because I think Cronin is a whiny baby

Apparently you just have to finish top 12 in your league if you are big 10 or SEC. I think that is far more difficult in 1 and not the other.

I don't know why everybody wouldn't have BYU as a 1-3 seed. They seem well coached and they basically get first pick of players every year going forward.

I saw some other one that had them as a 7 seed or something and I don't see how that's possible unless their coach is somehow worse than he seems. Would be just as odd as pegging Duke for a 7 seed.

Skip the season, I'd take a 3.

OKC into Chicago into Indianapolis is about as favorable as could be.

OKC was by far my favorite tournament site. The city lives it and the Bricktown district around the Arena is really cool.

And OKC is a very driveable distance in one day. Especially if you live west of Ames
