I actually will need to wait until tomorrow morning to get updated NET before I complete mine.

USPS — do you think the morning seeds are ‘locked’ by the committee like the Big Ten is?  I.e., the SEC result?

History tells you the B1G teams playing late don’t change despite a big win or loss.  They say they wait but the results sure don’t say they do.   Whatever seed you have Purdue and Iowa in the morning I would leave them there even though Iowa should maybe move up a line for beating Purdue

Kansas might clinch a 1 seed

Same with Houston and Memphis wherever you have them in the morning don’t expect that to change after the game

Zona is locked in to a 1 seed no matter what happens tonight. Don’t think Duke has enough  to jump the others even with a win.

So this is my question:

Let's take the A&M/Tennessee game.  A&M is probably(?) in even with a loss....but IMO would be a last four/play in type of team.  So them beating Tennessee and being an auto bid would make them avoid the play in fate.  In your opinion, does the committee come up with a win/loss scenario for them that puts them as a play in if they lose and not play in if they win, or do they simply put them in as a non-first four regardless?  Would seem to me that the second case would be an advantage for the result not being known with the possibility of knocking a team that would be on the last byes into the first four as a 'fall back' for not knowing their result.

With Iowa/Purdue and Houston/Memphis, the result effecting the first four.  The SEC one IMO could.

The Athletic as of, I think, this morning. This would be a horrible draw, imo.

No chance ND is a 10 seed. Also Iowa will be a 4 seed at the minimum.

They would make a contingency bracket for them.   If they truly are in the last 4 then they have to have 2 brackets.  One if they win and get the auto and 1 where they lose and go to the first 4.    I think they are in regardless but I need to take a deeper look.   Committee is going to have a surprise team in just got to try and figure it out.  N Texas and Xavier seem to be ones I could see them out in even though they might not deserve it.  Going to be fun

VT up 7 against Duke, but I believe VT is projected First 4 out in some Brackets

[FightFor6 973]

Delphi projecting one of IU, Texas A&M, or Virginia Tech likely still a Dayton play-in. Really hope we avoid that draw.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 88,124]

11 seed per On3.com

They put out a couple of different first 4 potential outcomes and that was one of them 

[Hoosierfan1901 7,532]

Start looking at VT...

[Chris007 57,072]

Is VA Tech & Texas A&M both ahead of us? If so we might be Dayton bound. Boy I hope not.

[Hoosierfan1901 7,532]

Yup, I’m going to start look at Dayton now, Duke has no answers for VT....yet
