Bracketology 3/16 Update: 5 Seed by Lunardi, B/R

[LonghornsGamecocks]

ESPN's Joe Lunardi and Bleacher Report still project SC as a 5 seed despite the blowout loss to AU

Latest men's Bracketology: UConn emerges as a No. 1 seed for 2025-26

With Alex Karaban among the returning players, the Huskies crack the top line of our latest projected field.

For some reason the B/R link will not paste into the post. Apologies.

No SSL cert, so click at own risk, but here's a cool site called Bracket Matrix which aggregates many bracketologists. Has us as a weighted average 5 seed as well: http://www.bracketmatrix.com/

In Spokane! I wonder how reliable his location predictions are. If the Gamecocks go to Spokane, I'm there.

Fortunately, he has Auburn on the opposite side of the bracket. lol. But also in Spokane.

I like this site:

The Bracket Project's Bracket Matrix - 2025

It takes the averages of over 100 bracket predictions. One person can easily be wrong, but when you take over 100 opinions it cancels out the outliers. USC seems to be firmly in as a 5 seed.

Of course many times the selection committee is the outlier and just does whatever the hell they want to.

Of course, Gamecock Curse. lol

North Carolina Snakes just stole a spot from one of the teams that is considered last four in.

Just saw a graphic on the Auburn vs Florida game showing Gamecocks as 6 seed now according to Lunardi. Vols as 2. Gators as 5.

Of course, we'll have to fly 2000 miles and Clemtech will get a short bus ride
