Initial thoughts following the Committee reveal:
-16/16 on teams selected
-Had Michigan/ Kansas swapped for Wisconsin/ Arizona on 3 line
-WAB matters
-Texas A&M at #6 again reinforces resume metrics (and WAB!) over predictive metrics
-Surprised to see Houston at #8, this is inconsistent with how committee has historically seeded a team with that type of profile (Houston #9 in WAB 🤔)
-Wisconsin at 11 was interesting. Lot of respect for a clean sheet. Thought lack of high end wins would get them but #11 WAB and #11 overall makes sense to me
-Arizona and Michigan were the two teams I kind of expected to be most "wrong" about because they're the two who's profile changed the most after committee started selecting and seeding on Tuesday. I'm not convinced committee used the updated metrics for Arizona following the loss @ Kansas State. Fwiw, I had Arizona #9 overall on Monday, so #12 here is certainly reasonable after a Q1 road loss. (All of the teams I had 11-16 were incredibly close). Arizona will be back to a 3 seed for me with a win over Houston.
-Kansas at 15 was a bit of a surprise but perhaps shouldn't have been. #19 WAB and losing record vs Quad 1 doesn't scream Top 3 seed. Thought committee would respect the NCSOS and neutral court wins over Duke/ MSU a bit more in addition to 10.3 predictive metric average

@thehookamania@bobpockrass Be nice everyone needs to stop bullying them and stop treating them like they don’t belong and they outcast they work real hard to get to this point in their careers racing Nascar is not easy specially at Daytona on the high banks anything can happen
@E2C_Network@NextRoundLive We got to win out cause Duke plays a weak acc schedule outside of Clemson. So to be the #1 overall seed and be in that bracket we need to finish regular #1 in the AP
