Realizing it's worthless to look this early, but also realizing it's fun ...

SI guy also has us at 6. He has WI playing Oakland too, so they should be out the first round.

I'm just hoping for location. Chicago, Denver or Tampa in that order. Or else I'm watching on TV.

I don't see how Florida, who just lost at home to SC and is nowhere near ranked, is a #5 seed ahead of MN. Anyway, if Lunardi's bracket is correct, he just has to swap MN and Temple's regions, that way we would match up with Big Blue in the second round. You just know that's what the committee would do.

They are 7-8 spots above MN in the RPI and have 8 top 100 wins...MN has just 3. I would bet it is RPI based.
