I like where he has OU seeded and comparatively speaking.....OU has the resume at this point to validate that #5 seed. And we have plenty of opportunities to improve our resume as well.
At this point, it's really tough to make a complete bracket. From the #8 seeds down to the bubble teams....it seems most, if not all, of the those teams have a glaring weakness. Either they don't have enough quality wins or they have a bad loss or two. For example take North Carolina. That is a team that is quickly playing its way out of the tournament. They are as bi-polar as any team out there. They have three top 15 RPI wins @ Michigan St., Louisville and Kentucky. But they have home losses to Belmont and Miami and road losses to UAB and Wake....and they lost at Virginia last night. You almost have to include them solely on their signature wins, but then you almost have to eliminate them because of their bad losses. I'm glad I'm not a bracketologist.

I believe UNC continues to play their way out of the tourney or maybe that's wishful thinking. Seems they have looked bad the last few weeks when I've watched them though. Unless we get on an unbelievable hot streak I see us ending up in the 6-7 range. I hope we win out at home and win the road games (tech, TCU, wv) then we could get to the 4 line!

I'd rather be on the 6 line than the 4/5 line, frankly.

Might as well work our way up to the 3 line then
Even better!

I don't want to be the pessimistic guy, I really think we can work our way up, but we HAVE to protect our homecourt first (Baylor, KSU, Texas, OKie st) and try and win road games such as TTU, WVU, and TCU. If we could do that, we would be something like 24-7and I think would be a top 4 seed or so with signature wins. However, we did lose to TCU on the road last year so we need to win those games
