Guess the seed

This is heading into Saturday, from the currently top rated bracketologist (yes, that’s a thing) in terms of accuracy.

March 13  |  1-68
1. Gonzaga 2. Baylor 3. Michigan 4. Illinois
5. Iowa 6. Alabama 7. Ohio State 8. Oklahoma State
9. Arkansas 10. Houston 11. Texas 12. Kansas
13. West Virginia 14. Purdue 15. Florida State 16. Virginia
17. Tennessee 18. Creighton 19. Villanova 20. Colorado
21. Texas Tech 22. USC 23. Oregon 24. LSU
25. Missouri 26. Wisconsin 27. Oklahoma 28. North Carolina
29. Florida 30. BYU 31. San Diego St 32. Clemson
33. Virginia Tech 34. Rutgers 35. Connecticut 36. St. Bonaventure
37. VCU 38. Georgia Tech 39. Maryland 40. Michigan State
41. Loyola-Chi 42. Wichita State 43. Louisville 44. UCLA
45. Syracuse 46. Drake 47. Utah State 48. Saint Louis
49. W. Kentucky 50. Winthrop    
51. Liberty 52. UCSB 53. Buffalo 54. UNCG
55. Colgate 56. Morehead St 57. Grand Canyon 58. E. Washington
59. Drexel 60. Oral Roberts 61. Cleveland St 62. Hartford
63. Nicholls 64. Iona 65. Prairie View 66. Mt. St. Mary’s
67. App State 68. Norfolk State  

On the 12-seed line(s), 45-48 is for the last four at-large teams in, then 49-50 is the two AQ 12-seeds. He has WKU and 23-1 Winthrop as the two AQ 12-seeds. Of the four 13-seeds, we have a higher NET than all three except for UCSB, and Buffalo was knocked out by Ohio who has a much lower NET than us.

With WKU vacating one of those 12-seeds, the top contenders for that AQ 12-seed would probably be Liberty (NET 84), UCSB (NET 55), and us. We beat a higher ranked team than UCSB did in their conference championship game, but they probably stay ahead of us (NET 62). Liberty notched a couple SEC wins in Non-Con, including the Mississippi State team we lost to, so they probably hold the résumé advantage.

The teams on the 14-seed line all have NETs in the 100s, except for Colgate Toothpaste (NET 8), a team that has only played conference games. Their conference championship game is tomorrow, so I suppose you could say we’re rooting for them to lose but I doubt they have the resume to hop us.

All this to say, we are in the hunt for a 12-seed, but 13 does feel most likely. Only way we fall to a 14-seed is if multiple teams with significantly lower NET rankings get placed ahead of us.

I think we should be 12 but think we will end up a 13. But either case puts us in a place to pull an upset.   
 

so far both projections I have seen have us 13 playing UVA.  That will be one slow game. First one to 50 wins.   
 

new NET today have us up to 61.

Predictions Update
Mar 14, 2021
BOOM! North Texas won the CUSA tournament, beating W Kentucky 61-57 in the title game!
The odds that the Mean Green make the NCAA tournament are up to 100%, an increase of 47% since yesterday.
We currently rank North Texas as the #78 team in the country, and the #1 team in the CUSA.

Bracketology Projections

Make NCAA Tournament Get Automatic NCAA Bid Projected Seed
100% 100% 13
North Texas almost certainly won't get an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament ... because they already locked up an automatic bid! 🙂
We project the Mean Green with a 7% chance to make the Sweet Sixteen, but essentially no chance to reach the Final Four.

Updated as a 13-seed playing Florida State. Unfortunately projecting us to be the last 13-seed. Again, this is the most accurate Bracketologist in recent years.

I like our chances against either W. Virginia or Virginia. I actually prefer Virginia since we both play a slower style. Now we play for it all.
