Seed List Through Games Played on Saturday, 3/16/24

Notes:

An absolutely crazy day of basketball yesterday.  If that was any indication of what we are likely to see in the NCAA Tournament, its going to be a very fun, and unpredicatable tournament.

• This is the Seed listing prior to start of Sunday's 5 remaining Conference Championship Games
• Ivy League - Brown vs. Yale.  Brown would replace Yale on the Board and require reseeding of the IVY League Champ
• Atlantic 10 - Duquesne vs. VCU.  Duquesne would replace VCS on the Board and require reseeding of the A10 Champ
• SEC - Florida vs. Auburn.  - If Florida wins I expect them to move up to the 4 Seed like and bump Alabama back to the 5 Line.  If Auburn wins I don't expect a change to the board
• American Athletic - Temple vs. UAB.  If Temple wins, they would replace UAB on the board and reseeding of the AAC champ
• Big Ten - Wisconsin vs. Illinois - Sadly, for Wisconsin(If they win), I don't think the outcome of this game will affect seeding due to how close to the release of the Brackets by the Selection Committee is.
• In all there were at least 4 or possible 5 Bid Thieves this year.  I can't recall a number that high:
• Oregon from the PAC 12
• NC State from the ACC
• Winner of Duquesne/VCU A10 Championship Game
• Winner of Temple / UAB AAU Championship Game
• New Mexico from the Mountain West (Depends on if you had them in already or not.  I didn't.)

I will publish my final bracket shortly before the selection show airs at 5:00 PM Central.  Praying for Yale, VCU, UAB and Florida to win.  If today is anything like yesterday, they'll all lose.
