FINAL SEED LISTS 2024

So below is our pair of seed lists. We have one for a UAB victory (UAB as a 13) and one for a Temple victory (Temple as a 15). I think that the Big Ten finalists will hold their positions regardless of result.

Where did we struggle? First, on Duke v Auburn for the last 3. Very close call for us, but while Duke didn't help themselves (at all), Auburn didn't beat anyone ahead of or level with them (say, Alabama, Tennessee, or Kentucky) so it wasn't quite enough to move them up a line.

Second, on Clemson. I don't think they deserve the 6 I gave them, but their profile just looked better than the 7's. Speaking of which, we had trouble sorting the Mountain West middle teams. I won't be surprised if USU ends up a 6 or Boise an 8, but we decided to level them all off at 7. 

Third, on Washington State. Really, every time I looked at their profile, I saw the two Arizona wins and... not much else. If they end up higher than an 8, we'll know what got them there.

Fourth, TAMU, with their unimpressive overall record and Q3 losses... and all those Q1 games and wins, especially the big ones. I feel like they deserved to be rewarded for the schedule and the wins more than punished for the losses.

I honestly didn't think it was much of a decision at the cut line, and while FAU and Oklahoma didn't really impress me, I'll be shocked if St. John's gets in ahead of them. They're not leaving Michigan State out, and while Colorado lacks quality wins, they avoided the bad losses.

We mostly stuck to the NET rankings for the 12's to 16's. We'll learn from that one way or the other.
