If we have 2 wins over Houston, that could be the difference. I don't think a one seed is out of the equation yet.

And I’d ask which tells you more about a team, who they are in December or who they are in March?
I pray for this:
East - UConn and Tennessee
South - Houston and Marquette
Midwest - Purdue and Iowa State
West - UNC and Arizona
East - UConn and Tennessee
South - Houston and Marquette
Midwest - Purdue and Iowa State
West - UNC and Arizona
Me as a fan would take the team in March. But the committee doesn't do that, there is no more eye test or last ten games. Games in November weigh the same as games in March. Teams can control who they play the first two months, not the last three.

Whether they can control who they play in conference, a weak conference resume makes your resume weaker. Weighing them equally gives artificial advantage to teams with more key players returning.
Really doesn't matter. Geographically they are going to get the west. If they are a 1, 2 or 3.
2001 was the last year that 1st/2nd Round locations were tied to Regional sites in advance.
I don't disagree, but it isn't us making the determination, we can argue to tweaks to the system all we want but the committee has shown deference to a tougher non-con over a though conference schedule.
Last night was seen by just about everybody as a play in game to the last 2 seed. We won, we get that seed, but even combined with a win today is probably not enough to jump Arizona or Tennessee unfortunately. I would just say it's probably a less than 5% chance we aren't put into the East regional
I think he is saying the only movement we would have is to a one seed, that would stay in omaha
I agree. We get bogged down in details like that looking for slights. It was the same way when people were mad that KU was mocked as 2 and us a 3 a couple weeks ago.
None of that matters. What matters is where and who we are playing
That DePaul game sticks out like a sore thumb. We got completely screwed with them as our Big E opponent.
I'm trying to find out what time the Hawkeyes play today. Anybody know? Also can anybody direct me to where the the Hawkeyes are on any of the bracketology brackets that are out there?
.....Oh. Wait. Never mind.

What's your .0000001% that would keep us out of Omaha. I ask because I can't see a scenario.
Jerome Tang busts into the committee meeting room showing off his floor mopping while regaling the members with conspiracy theories of hidden cameras and inefficient towel boys. Committee members pass out due to boredom and as their heads hit their keyboards they accidentally place us in Spokane.
Committee gets confused and thinks ISU is located in the Ames commune in Pas-de-Calais in France, decides our closest pod is Brooklyn.
