weakest region...Midwest

Still too many season and conference tournament games for any of these projections to matter.

in the 5 years they have been doing things, i think they said 68 of the 80 schools went on to be top 4 seeds

Maybe to some extent, but it's interesting to get a sense of how the Committee is thinking, what they value etc

the committee never put emphasis on predictive metrics, not sure who predicted that narrative. stuff like kenpom doesnt really matter and the net overall ranking does not matter when there are others to explain..see St Marys and UConn

there are some bracketologists almost exclusively tied to predictive stuff

So RU is 2-1 vs the Top 16?

If Mag doesn’t get hurt , I would take our chances and feel pretty good against 14 of the 16, only Alabama and UCLA would be problematic . Then maybe Arizona although they do not guard real well.
