Bracket Matrix

We can make a real run at a 3 seed. That would be awesome…and right where I hoped we would be before the season started. Need to finish strong.

We're 1 spot away from a 3 seed as it is.

I'M looking at us making a run towards a 2 seed.

Thats what I want.

I won't say impossible, but we'd probably have to win out, or possibly only lose one the rest of the way. I don't see that as likely or probable.

Haha that's more or less what I'm thinking. Believe me I want to dream. But just in my mind I'm thinking a 4 and maybe if we go 8-2(loss to ISU and loss in Big 12 title) to finish out then we could land a 3. Now in my heart I'm hoping for 10-0 and a 2!!! Boooomer!!! Haha

Yep. Those top 8 spots get awfully hard to come by this time of year. UK, UVA, Duke, Gonzaga, Wisconsin and Arizona have 6 of the top 8 all but sealed up (barring a shocking collapse). Even if OU finishes 9-0 (pipe dream) or 8-1 (doable, but unlikely), they're still looking at having to surpass the likes of KU, Villanova, and Louisville (among others) for one of those last two spots on the #2 line. As you said, it's not impossible, but the chances are very slim.
 
George Schroeder posted a mock selection today. Had us as #9 overall seed.
 
2 line will be tough, there are about 8 teams vying for the #1 seed - so the losers get bumped down. 3-5 is our range, can't see anything other than that.

He was in Indianapolis at the NCAA doing a mock selection committee. The fact that we are that high after that is a REALLY good sign.

Agreed. I think the next six games will determine where OU will be in that range. I doubt if the Big 12 tournament will even matter. Barring a total collapse in the remaining regular season games, I can't see us getting worse than a 5. At the same time, I think a 3 is the very best we can hope for.
 
For you seeding nuts, this is all you'll ever need.

I read bracket matrix almost every day. If you're looking for a good basketball blog with knowledge and quality content, click on the "BaP" link. The writer does a really good job of spelling out where teams reside regarding seeding and the bubble. He is very complimentary of OU and our chances in the tournament.
