[...] everyone’s #1 team, including ours, and even though we chose Louisville to win it all in our bracket post earlier this week. Does that make us inconsistent? Wishy-washy? A flip-flopper? Nah. UNC is the best team [...]

David, thanks for your comments. If we had done this bracket all at once (rather than working our way up over the course of a month), we agree that Siena would have had a better seed.

We like Purdue too, actually, but this year’s MSU team has the look of a classic Izzo squad to us. We’ll see though (actually we won’t see b/c we don’t get the BTN).

Good bracket. I try to avoid criticizing preseason brackets, but I’ll just leave my two cents.

1) Siena will be a better seed- They were a 13 last year, and return all five starters. I expect them to be an 11 when it’s all said and done this season.

2) Another Villanova-Clemson 1st round game would be fun, but this time around the seeds are reversed and there won’t be an upset.

3) I think Purdue will come out on top in the Big 10 over Michigan State. They have the experience and talent to win the Big 10 and get a top seed… but I think they could easily be knocked out early.

Yeah, I’m not sure that’s an actual rule, is it? Can anyone confirm that’s a rule or a preference?

Texas and Wisconsin play in the regular season, so they can’t play in the 2nd round, right? Good bracket though.
