Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Number of teams per conference
ACC 9
Big Ten 8
Big 12 6
Pac-12 5
Big East 5
SEC 4
American 3
Atlantic 10 3
West Coast 2

Bias aside I think Georgetown is in and Seton Hall/Butler is not.

Creighton and Seton Hall too low. Butler way too high.

Here is the working link. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology

Not much thought into this but my guess would be

Villanova- Agree with the 1 seed
Xavier- Could see 3 but I'd guess closer to 4-5
Creighton- I'd imagine they'd be a 4-5 seed also
Georgetown- If they play to their level up to a 3 seed but I see more of a 5-6 seed
Butler- It's hard to see this team making the tournament. They got Martin and AC, but the back court worrying me, also how good Will Wideman be? If this years Butler team got a 9 seed I don't see how next years will get an 8.
Seton Hall- 7-10 seed is fair, who will be the go to guy
Marquette- Just because I can't see them missing the tournament 4 straight years and I think they have some good talent 11-12 seed

I agree with this. Their starting front court should actually be solid to pretty good with Martin, Chrabascz and Wideman, but Savage, Woodson and Baldwin are going to have to play above expectations for this to be a tourney team.

I just don't understand how Lunardi has the Jays as an 11. If we live up to almost EVERYONE'S expectations, not just Jays fans expectations, we should be in the 4-6 range. Top 20-25 team and 3 in the Big East doesn't get you an 11.

Just realized Providence is his first team out. If they're the first out I don't see how he doesn't mention Marquette and Georgetown. Also Creighton is the last team without being in the play in game.

I'd be happy with 5 teams in.

I wouldn't worry about any of this. Lunarsi has a hard time being right when he has a seasons worth of info in front of him let alone 6 months before the season even starts.

We could be looking at a 6 bid season for the Beast.

Lunardi just had his worst season in recent years, but he is still ranked 22 out of 88 "veteran bracketologists." Pretty solid job (though some years back, he wasn't that great). Patrick Stevens, Warren Nolan, and Jeff Borzello are the other big media guys that stand out.
