By most outlets we look to be a 4 seed currently. I'm not too worried about seeding in general as it just comes down to the matchups.
February 17th, 2014 at 12:59 PM ^
Then that would probably be true. Too much room to move up or down in the tourney!

Pollstalker hasn't posted the AP vote distribution yet, but it will be interesting to see. Typically, a majority of the votes sit near the actual ranking, so I bet about half of the votes are in the 19-21 range. Still, even last week, a couple people had us unranked who did submit ballots. It will be interesting to see which writers did this for this particular poll.

Get it done against Sparty, and finish strong, and something on the 2/3 line is still possible. I would not bet the mortgage money on it, though.

None higher than 13th. Seems wrong, but when you look at any individual team, also hard to find a lot of fault with those positions. Hope we light it up in March and make the pundits look dumb.

The poll is just a total crapshoot at this point.
February 17th, 2014 at 2:27 PM ^
based on whether we're playing D, hitting from 3, or none of the above.

One week from today, Michigan will be ranked much higher.

Michigan #20That'll go up after Sunday's win over MSU
MSU #13Way too high

Very interesting that we are the only team in the Top 25 with 7 losses...including a "looking worse by the week" loss to Charlotte.
We're getting a lot of respect based on our "strong" road wins in conference....though Northwestern & Nebraska have won in some of those same tough road venues.
We really need this win against MSU (and really to finish with 1 more regular season loss, max), otherwise could selection Sunday, we could see our seeding slip quickly.

I'd think we'd probably be seeded fairly similarly to how we were in 2012 after winning the Big Ten at 13-5 at a 4. We were 24-9 before the tourney that year, this year a 13-5 finish(with say an exit in the BTT semis) would put us at 22-10, but we'd have a much better road performance track record.

Wren's doing a swell job on the signings and extensions, eh?!

I have to agree that #20 seems fair. Our schedule has been crazy the last couple of months and no one should of expected Michigan to beat all the ranked teams they have played. However on Sunday against Wisconsin they were very flat. If they want to make a good run in the tournament, they are going to have to find ways to stay electric. They need to play as they did against State, Wisconsin, Iowa in their first meetings. I would like to see us go to at least the elite 8 this year. Anything after that is a bonus!
