Way too early poll

If we win the AQ Ill say we're a 12

You should have added an option for "No Tourney".

At this moment, a MVC tournament seeding poll would be more appropriate. Unless there is a major decline in turnovers and a significant increase in 3pt shooting percentage several more league losses are looming.

Interestingly enough Drake is now projected to win at Arch madness but we are still in the tournament. So as for questioning where out at large status might lie having Joe Lunardi still giving us an at-large bid is a good sign. But we cannot afford any bad losses for the rest of the year.

Looking at some bracketology today, Joe Linardi at ESPN still has us listed as an at large and 10 seed in his latest (Drake is predicted as the AQ and a 13 seed); and Jerry Palm has us a 10 seed, but his hasn’t been updated since the 31st, after the Drake loss.

So it seems we are still getting lots of love from national media. Reading the tea leaves the team holds their destiny in their hands, win and the chances are much better of getting in.

Another site that I use and have touted before is Bracket Matrix (www.bracketmatrix.com/). It aggregates all bracketologists into one site. We are currently in all 110 of 110 brackets they include (although a handful of them are pre-Drake) and we average out to a 9 seed.

Question: what is the difference between last 4 byes and last 4 in? We are one of the last 4 byes on ESPN bracketology.

Last 4 byes: 11 or 12 seeds that don't have a play-in game (like the one between Drake and WSU last year.

Are certain cities/locations already locked in with seeds. Eg. 10 seeds will go to one of these 4 cities, 12 seeds will go to one of these 4?
