I'll take
Cuse
Kentucky
Kansas
Mizzou

No way is there two big12 teams as number ones. As of today, I like your list but with msu over mizzou.

I feel like those 4 are the best 4 teams in the nation and are very deserving.

UNC/Duke and OSU/MSU play next weekend. If the winners of those games also win the conference tournament, they are locks.

Kentucky
Syracuse
Kansas
North Carolina (they will win out)

I see OSU winning against MSU at least once the rest of the way, whether it be in E.L. or the B1G Tournament. Neither get a one seed.

Michigan State
Duke
Missouri
Ohio State

These are your two seeds. I don't see anyone, short of Marquette or Georgetown winning the Big East Tournament, replacing them.

I figured. But you saw today, a good defensive team, when they play their good d, makes mizzou look like a good team.. Not a great one. They just rely too much on the 3 and take a lot of bad shots. A team like msu would fluster them like crazy.

I wont do a right now. But Ill do a projection, in order:

1. UK (lock)
2. Syracuse (lock)
3. UNC (I see them winning out)
4. MSU (beating OSU in the regular season, then lose in the tourney in final to OSU or UofM)

5. Missouri (IMO, they may win out, putting them RIGHT there. MSU winning the #1 conf. & making the finals will win)
6. Kansas (I see them winning out reg. season. Losing in the conference tourney)
7. OSU (lose to MSU. Possibly lose in B1G Tourney)
8. Duke (2 more losses)

Kansas will be a 1 seed if they win out and lose in the conf. finals.

Aren't conference championship games not even looked at by the committee?

If Missouri beats them, no way they get it over them.

That's probably true.

I think it's a lock that either KU or Missou will get a 1 seed.

You may be right. For some reason I see the committee using conference RPI heavily this year. Call it a hunch.

Duke/UNC
Kansas
Kentucky
Syracuse

This, of course, all depends on what shakes out during the conference tournaments. A lot of basketball to be played. Missouri could sneak back and take Kansas' No. 1 with a win over the Jayhawks in the Big XII tourney; Duke or UNC could both stumble early in the ACC tourney and Michigan State could grab a one. A lot of variables could come into play. Kentucky and Syracuse, however, are locks.

Kentucky
Kansas
Syracuse
MSU

Kentucky and Syracuse are the only locks to me. If I had to pick two others right now it would be Kansas and MSU. But we still have 2 weeks until selection Sunday...

I think i remember hearing something like this last year. I think its because some of the CC games were on the same day the committee was meeting 2 do the seeding.

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

But now that I thnk about it, I believe the big 12 moved their conf. title game back to Saturday and I know another conf. did this as well.

They did the mock selection. They lay out IF/THAN scenarios for the Big Ten Title game (the only one that ends that late). So basically, if so and so wins they take bracket A, if the other team wins they take bracket B. If its an auto bid who wouldnt have made it, they have bracket C.

It isnt a huge deal.

I'd like to add that Ohio State is also another No. 1 seed alternate on my list (obviously). With Kentucky and Syracuse being absolute locks, there are six teams fighting for the two remaining spots (Duke, UNC, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan State and Ohio State), which should make for a very exciting conference tournament week. I can't wait.

I'd definitely say that the committee takes into serious consideration the conference championship games. Had Duke not won the ACC championship game on Sunday in 2010, the Blue Devils most certainly would not have been a No. 1 seed in the NCAAs. The ACC plays its title game on Sunday at one o'clock, however, so that probably gives the committee enough time to evaluate the results.

This.

If Carolina and Duke take care of business, and one of the two wins the ACC, then Ohio State is most definitely out of the No. 1 conversation. A Michigan State table run to the Big Ten tourney championship, however, could make things interesting.

This is assuming that either Missouri or Kansas ends up taking the one in the Midwest, which I think we can all agree will happen one way or another.

Kentucky
Syracuse
Kansas
Duke/UNC(whoever wins on Saturday).
