Michigan a 2-seed in 3/10 Bracketology
Title speaks for itself. Link: http://espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology
What do you guys think we have to do in the B1G Tourney to keep a 2? Anything?

I would much rather have Wisconsin's walk in the park. Robert Morris, UMass, Creighton if no upsets occur. That's not a difficult road to the elite 8.

Just fyi guys - Lunardi is like the brand name bracketologist based on who he works for. His track record versus a lot of other bracketologists is actually very average. Due to his "brand" (ESPN) he gets all the hype (and Palm is average too). Some of these smaller sites in that bracketmatrix have a far better record at picking things correctly. Of those almost all the ones i looked at have UM on the 2 line playing in the South or West, opening in Milwaukee or Buffalo. (UF or AZ as the #1 seeds)

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think Lunardi is one of the best at predicted which teams are in and out (and so he's a good guy to go to if your team is on the bubble), but perhaps there are better ones in terms of predicting seeds.

It's super easy to predict what teams are in or out every year... you can get 64 of 68 teams just by glancing through the end of the season. Last year over half of the matrix picked all 68 teams correctly and over 80% had 67 of 68 teams.
How teams will be seeded is much more delicate and takes some degree of reverse-engineering how the NCAA committee is going to decide things that year.
Lunardi is not a revered name among bracketologists. View http://www.bracketmatrix.com/rankings.html for the guys who get it right at a much higher level.

I'd assume we are the 2nd 2 seed just having to pass Kansas and Villanova for the last 1
March 10th, 2014 at 12:07 PM ^
I think one more win, likely two will give Michigan a two seed.

I would love that bracket for us. Of all the #1 seeds, Florida is who I would most like to be paired up with. Same goes for Virginia and the #3 seeds. Even the lower seeded teams in the region are more favorable matchups IMO.

Sorry if this has been discussed a lot in other threads, but what do you think are the possibilities of Michigan getting a 1 seed IF: A) Michigan win the BTT B) Kansas and 'Nova don't win their conference tourneys.
I think someone from CBS yesterday mentioned it a possibility.
Espn's nitty gritty has us as the top 2 seed right now
