I figure Duke and K-State will be awfully close.
I'd put Syracuse at #1, Kansas #2, Kentucky #3. I figure the #1 votes will be spread amongst those 3. |

Syracuse is No. 1 in The Associated Press' Top 25, taking advantage of a weekend when the poll's top three teams lost.
The Orange were the runaway top pick Monday, receiving 59 first-place votes from the national media panel to make the jump from fourth. This is their first time on top since a six-week run during the 1989-90 season. Kansas, which had the other six first-place votes, dropped to second following its loss at Oklahoma State. Kentucky, which has the same 27-2 record as the two teams above it, dropped one place after losing at Tennessee. Duke was fourth followed by Kansas State, Ohio State and Purdue, which fell from third to seventh after losing to Michigan State. Texas, which was No. 1 for two weeks in January, fell out of the Top 25 after losing for the seventh time in 12 games.

Meh - lip service at this point. Bryce committed to Tennessee and Lane Kiffin regardless of how tight he was with Bill Snyder.

I know our basketball team is kicking ass, but I can't friggin wait for football. Speaking of which, would anyone else rather have a 2 seed than a 1? |

I've been debating this for two weeks now, but i can't find anyone to engage me in this convo.
I am torn. For the 1: Historically, this would be awesome. To be a one seed is a very, very special thing, and is remembered after all is done, regardless of tourney outcome. A nice recruiting tool, and a fancy label to attach to the team. We don't get to play in OKC, though. That's KU - unless the tides turn in the most ridiculous way ever. For the 2: We would most likely play in OKC for rounds one and two. Also, there is a possibility that there will be a soft 1 seed (Duke) and we may end up in the same bracket. I think we can roll Duke. I just can't decide. |

While I understand what you are saying, you should take a few minutes to look at this: http://rotoguru2.com/hoop/mad/seedwl.html It shows the history of all matchups in the tourney based on seed and round up through last years tourney. A good example of wanting that better seed is the Sweet 16 matchups...assuming all teams play to seed....1 vs. 4 & 2 vs. 3. 1 vs 4: There have been a total of 36 games. #1 seed is 27-9 with a 75% winning percentage. 2 vs 3: There have been a total of 33 games. #2 seed is 21-12 with a 64% winning percentage. Always want the higher seed. It increases the chances of moving on and in the tournament teams need all the help they can get. |

1. Arthur and family are pushing him....hard. They are a tight family. I think the experience of having to miss a lot of their kids college experience has been tough on the parents. 2. Daniel Thomas graduates after this season. Bryce could sit out this year and be The Man in the 2011 season. That certainly appeals to him and his family. 3. I know that Saul discounts this, but Bryce was tight with the KSU staff. If HCBS had never left, we probably would have had both of the Brown kids from the get go. |
