blue,
No, when it comes to seedings, tournament looks at last 10 games and conference tournament. Louisville seems to be sliding as opposed to peaking. Not to many top seeds lose on road by 27 to mediocre TCU team and the worst part about it was that it was nationally telivised. Right now Louisville is a 5 or 6. Cinci might crack a top 4 seed due to conference tournament, I believe is in Cinci's home court. Gl

Kojak: Are you from Tennessee or a Memphis State alum? Agree with most of the 16 teams you named, but not necessarily in the same order, but I think Memphis is a No.4 seed at best. They still have to play at Louisville and Cincinnati. Of course if they win both a No. 2 seed wouldn't be out of the question.
Based on performance and history of the selection committee -
Duke in East
Ok St in Mid West
Kentucky in SE
Stanford in West
Whether we like it or not, the selection committee will continue to lick Coach K's butt regardless if they deserve a #1 seed. They also will always take an above average Kentucky, Ok St, Miss St or Texas over Saint Joe's, Gonzaga or any other team that does not draw away from home every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
I disagree with how they do it (Gonzaga's seed LY was a farce) but their bottom line is Ratings, which equals $$ to CBS.

Mr. Misantherope,
No I am a Purdue alumni. I just think that Louis and Cinci are fading and Memphis is peaking. Also, Conference USA is underrated and equal to some of the power conferences this year. If St. Joe's loses, they will lose #1 but are no worse than #2. I am assuming that Memphis will win both. Best of luck.

I am in no way a Kentucky/Tubby Smith fan nor do I think they deserve a # 1 seed (though there is alot of ball to be played).
However, the top 2-3 seeds in each bracket every year have more to do with drawing big crowds and big ratings rather than actual on-court performance.(i.e. Kentucky, Duke though they are damn good every year).
That's why North Carolina, Connecticut, Florida, Louisville, Arizona etc... will get higher seeds than they deserve and the St. Joes, Gonzagas, Western Michigans and Utah States of the world continue to get sh*t on by the grand committee. Just IMO.
It's unfortunate that the committee is constantly blinded by ratings and $$. GL also.
