Thursday Bracketology

Submitted by ish on

As always, Bracket Matrix lives here: http://www.bracketmatrix.com/

The Bracket Matrix currently ranks us as a 3 seed, the second of the 3 seeds, with an average seed of 2.73.  However, our average seed among brackets that updated prior to last night at 10 PM is 2.67.  That would not change our spot on the S-curve, but it would move us closer.  Of note, the brackets that updated last night did not account for the Duke loss.  Duke currently is a 2 seed on the Bracket Matrix, the last of the 2 seeds, with an average seed of 2.29.

Lundardni just updated his bracket: http://espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology.  (All Lunari disclaimers apply.)  He has Michigan a 3 seed, and the second of the 3 seeds: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/nitty.  Lundard notes:

  • He has Nebraska IN.  The last team in;
  • Minnesota is his third team out, FSU his fourth;
  • Stanford is getting close to his bubble territory;
  • B1G: MSU (4); OSU (6); Iowa (6); Wisconsin (2); Nebraska First Four, fighting for an 11.

Jerry Palm lives here: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology.  He has Michigan on the 2 line, so Jerry Palm is your mass market bracketologist of the day and comes with no disclaimers.  His other B1G seedings are comparable to Luardi.  He also has Nebraska in.

Finally, Crashing the Dance: http://crashingthedance.com/seed.php now has Michigan as its 7 team on its S-curve, meaning that we would get a 2 seed.  CTD gives no love to the Cornhuskers.
