    And for the record, I listed mine in order, so Duke is my fourth one seed with Pittsburgh ahead of them.

    The ongoing Big Ten Championship Game is just an exhibition game, Ohio State is the overall number one no matter what.

    I'm still seeing Pitt and ND in most Brackets and one even had SDSU and Pitt.


    Wonder if UNC's poor play in the ACC tourny dropped them from a #2 to a #3 or #4

    Joe Lunardi still has Pittsburgh and Notre Dame as 1 seeds. He's usually dead on as far as who will make the NCAA Tournament. He might get one team wrong. But he's incorrect on a lot of the seeds. And I believe he's wrong in this case. I believe Duke will get a 1 seed ahead of Notre Dame, but the selection committee has surprised and upset me before.

    I think that was at the start of the day. He may move Duke up now.

    I don't see how he still has USC in the last spot and Georgia/Bama out. There's no way that will happen. He's obviously the expert but I can't see how USC possibly gets in over both of those SEC teams. I don't agree with Duke not being a #1 either. They have to be. Glad the guessing will be over in a little over an hour.

    He said on Bracketology on ESPN a little while ago after the Duke/North Carolina game was over that those were still his 1 seeds, because of their number of wins against top 25 and top 50 teams. I disagree, but we'll see.

    Sorry, but there's no way to justify keeping Duke off the 1 line.

    Yes the ACC had a down year, but the year Duke had is #1 quality regardless.

    I think it's pretty clear that Ohio State-Kansas-Duke are the top three, and the question is which Big East team gets the last one: Pittsburgh or Notre Dame.

    Anyone want to bet me on Duke?

    You can have +180 on Duke not being a #1 seed. I just made up those odds, but I'll take any bets up to 1000 points.

    I don't think they'll fall below a 3. I'd say 2 or 3 for them.

    Ohio State
    Kansas
    Notre Dame
    Duke


    I think Pittsburgh should get a #2 seed as they lost in their first game to a streaking Uconn. Should be exciting to find out though

    pretty sure it will be Ohio St, Kansas, Pitt and Duke as the number one seeds. Just don't think Duke deserves one. How bout a bet Duke will have the easiest bracket out of all the number one seeds like last year.

    Bet offer is closed.

    I'm pretty sure I'll be right here about Duke getting a 1.

    I was listening to the radio and they talked about team A and team B...

    It was actually BYU vs. Duke. BYU had more wins, more road wins, and a tougher schedule. Duke is in the ACC but it's way down and they haven't beaten anybody. They will manufacture wins against teams they are supposed to beat and will win a few games but who have they beaten? They couldn't dream of doing the 5/5 that Uconn just did and Uconn was what, the 9th team in the Big East?

    So who are the #2 seeds???

    Let's say the 1's are Ohio State, Kansas, Duke, Pitt
    #2's??? Notre Dame, Texas, Uconn, UNC???

    A team I'd watch out for is the Washington State huskies. I like Isah Thomas and the energy that team has.

    Right now I'd say:

    Ohio State, Duke, Kansas, Pittsburgh
    Got it.

    2s, I'd say:

    Notre Dame, UConn, SDSU, and then either Kentucky or UNC (one should be the bottom 2 and the other should be the top 3)

    Don't care for any of the #1 seeds. Best team is probably Ohio State, but Duke sure did look good today.

    UNC closed it very shaky, with three bad performances in a row (two of them wins).

    So yeah, I could see an early exit.

    NCAA guy said many deserving teams could have been a #1... really?

    Ohio State yes
    Kansas yes

    Were the rest of the teams really "deserving"? You could have made the argument for many teams but did they deserve it? This is a down year for CBB. No power team. You say many teams deserved a 1? BS
