ISU is a 3rd seed combined across all 74 brackets. Best projection is a 2 seed; worst projection is an 8 seed.

So if these averages hold up we as a 3 could faces possible 6 seeds Ohio st. Or UCLA fighting Steve Alford's.
Is it just me or is Villanova dominating the Big East overvalued. I don't think they are a bad team, but not sure why they are given so much love, that league is not what it used to be. Go look at their standings and tell me what team ISU would not want to play on a neutral court.
They beat a very young (at the time) Kansas team, they beat Iowa which both of those are good wins. Lost their only other game vs a ranked team in syracuse, and got **** pounded at home by Creighton.
Also shouldn't that 8 seeding by some moron be excluded from the Matrix? I mean seriously I can see ISU being some East coast 20 best team, but really only a top 32 team. We have been ranked most of the year, have more quality wins than everyone in the country but a handful of teams, our worst loss was at Oklahoma.

CSM has the 8th seed while they ranked ISU #13. Does not compute.

That is the only bracket site that is worth a damn. I love how Lunardi (35) and Palm (39) are slightly better than the average monkey at picking their bracket, but everyone swoons over their work.

Nova got 2 good wins in a single weekend in November. Since then they've won out vs. mediocre teams and lost to both ranked teams they've played. Hard to accurately rank but 6 in AP and #2 seed in tourney seems high. If we get a 3 I'd be pretty happy to have Nova be the 2 in our bracket.
Here is another nice matrix site for what it's worth.

How relevant can a ranking be that has ISU #44 like 7OT does? In that poll they have an 8-loss Tennessee team ranked 22.
I asked them how they could have ISU ranked #13 and still an 8 seed. Here is the response:
Interesting, but I don't see us falling that far. I think we get a 6 seed at the lowest unless we completely lose our focus and lose out.
