Another season is over, the field of 65 is set, and now comes the time to forgot about the "bubble" and enjoy all the games the NCAA has to offer.
For the record, we had 62 of the 65 teams yet again (projecting Syracuse, Drexel, and Florida State) and missed when Stanford, Old Dominion, and Arkansas were chosen.
We had Arkansas in our early Sunday projection, but dropped the Razorbacks after a disasterous game against Florida (goes to show us once again that how you play often doesn't have much to do with whether you are chosen).
We were torn over Old Dominion vs. Drexel. In the end, we sided with Drexel because of their better non-conference schedule and their excellent non-conference wins. Ultimately, the committee decided that Old Dominion was more deserving for finishing 2 games ahead of Drexel in the CAA standings and beating the Dragons twice head-to-head.
We were left surprised when we saw Stanford chosen and Syracuse left out. The Orange were very light on non-conference wins, had a few bad non-conference losses, a mid-50 RPI, and just 3 top-50 RPI wins. However, the Orange also had 11 Big East wins (including a win over Georgetown).
In the end, we did have a lowly 28 of 65 teams seeded correctly (tied for the top spot with CBS Sportline, the Backboard, and Bracket Watch) , but we also had 52 of 65 within one line of their correct seed (often considered more accurate because teams often have to be moved one seed line to accomodate various tournament requirements), also tied for the top spot with Bracketology 101 and NCAA Bracket predictions. A comparison of ALL the various bracket predictions can be found at Comparing the Projected Seeds.
As always, we have enjoyed the season and we will return this week for our NCAA Tournament predictions and projections.
Thansk for taking the time to stop and check us out, and however you feel about the selections, ENJOY THE DANCE !!!!
