I think you Vandy as an 8 seed is wrong. Their early losses were without Ezeli. You have Marquette as a 3 and Vandy went to their house and clobbered them. You have Bama as a 6 and Vandy went to their house and clobbered them too. Does ANY logic go into these projections?
Vandy an 8 , Bama a 6?, Marquette a 3?
Vandy went to both of those and handed them a beatdown. With center Ezeli back, they have lost to three top 20 teams in overtime. i have them a high 4 seed.
I appreciate the comments.
Two things re: Vandy -- Single-game Head-to-head is probably the last thing the committee is going to look at. By March, they'll have 30 games each to look at instead of one or two.
Also, Vandy is climbing. In the bracket I'm about to put up, I have them at a 5. My theory on in-season bracketology is that it's a picture of the standings today, not a guess about how they will end up. The more games Vandy gets on its resume with Ezeli in the line-up, the higher they will climb.
Also bear in mind that it's still early. Teams can make a 4-5 seed-line jump (or fall) in a single week. I suspect that as the season goes on, the seed lines will get more stable.
