Bracketology 101 seeds Marquette as a 10th seed, but they have a #70 RPI. I take it you anticipate Marquette will win at least two of their remaining four games and finish above .500 in the Big East. Marquette's games at home against Louisville and away at St. Johns and Seton Hall appear to be tough games for Marquette. Their finale at home against Notre Dame should be a win. I would put them on bubble status if they lose their next two games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-60583753192614775042010-02-21T22:19:30.745-05:002010-02-21T22:19:30.745-05:00How does Kentucky get the #1 of the #1 seeds?

That just seems very high? What is the highest RPI ever for an at large bid? <br /><br />Does Wichita State have a chance for the tournament with a 22-7 record and a #50 RPI?

Their only other win of note was against Marquette, and they already have five conference losses themselves. Georgia Tech - despite the FSU sweep - still has home wins over Duke, Wake Forest, Clemson and Siena and a road win at Charlotte. That's five Top 50 wins compared to FSU's two, and that's why GT is still a seed line ahead of them even with a 5-6 record in the ACC.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-41288406953926380272010-02-16T15:56:35.860-05:002010-02-16T15:56:35.860-05:00How is Georgia Tech an 8 seed?
