Not sure what is so funny. I put a lot of work into making my projections and I am as good as anyone in the nation doing it. I don't get paid like Jerry Palm but I do a much better job then he does I have outscored him 9 times in the last 11 years with 1 time being a tie. I have got all 68 teams right twice in the last 5 years (2013 and 2017) and I have score more points than anyone on the bracket matrix 2 out of the last 3 years (2015 and 2017) so ya I guess that is funny or something.

You don't think bragging about subjective picks and placement in a tournament while also bragging about fantasy wins isn't funny?

We get it - you're a basketball fan. A sports-bigamist but hey it's a free country. It's a little much though....

I think 14 of the 16 teams are locks then 2 out of 4 to claim the last 2 spots between (Rhode Island Oklahoma, Arizona and West Virginia). Rhode Island has great RPI but only 6 top 100 equiv wins. Overall 1/2 is a coin flip. #3 Xavier for sure in my book. #4 overall could be 1 of several teams just depends on what the committee looks for. This is why this really helps out for March selections you will know right now how they view teams like MSU, Cincy and Ohio State instead of pure guessing in March which leads to different people having them 2-3 seeds apart. Of course that was the fun in the past and how I have done so well compared to most people and now I lose that edge though last year it sure didn't hurt me.

Ok I didn't study this much so this is much of a gut feel list.

1 seeds - Virginia, Villanova, Xavier, Purdue
2 seeds - Michigan State, Kansas, Auburn, Texas Tech
3 seeds - Clemson, Duke, Cincinnati, Tennessee
4 seeds - North Carolina, Ohio State, Arizona, Rhode Island

Well I got the top 4 in exact order the reason I had Virginia over Nova is Virginia has 4 top 10 RPI wins and Nova only had 1 I let that be the difference. Almost everyone I looked at today had Nova over Virginia. I was one of the very few that had Purdue on the 1 line I just felt after looking at the teams despite back to back losses they still had best resume and I got that right.

Cincy a 2 seed.............wtf ? Seriously come on committee they really are awarding the "quad 1/2 number wins" over the actual teams they beat another reason why Michigan State has not shown up yet.

I don't agree at all with that I think who you actually beat is more important then an RPI number. I was way off on Michigan State I felt they were only a 3 seed resume but felt the committee would push them up by overall record glad to see I was wrong on them actually.

Now on to the 9-16
