Memphis is 26-3 with a RPI of #7 and has won 18 games in a row and they are the last #4 seed in your bracket? Are you drunk?

No... I just believe they are overrated, and will lose sometime soon. However, I've realized that I can't let personal bias get in the way. They'll be moving up soon

The earliest they will lose will be in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. By that point they will be 31-3. You obviously suffer by "big 6" media brainwashing. I bet you were one of those who agreed with such media hacks as Seth Davis that predicted Memphis would lose to #16 seed Oral Roberts in the First Round of the Tournament last year. Of course, they won by 16 and easily advanced to the Elite 8. Don't be so biased against teams that are not part of the "big 6" cabal. There is good basketball outside of the "big 6".

It's my opinion that a bracket should be filled out based on the resume of each particular team, not the perception of how good that team may be. Memphis may very well be overrated, but I think that if Florida had the same record against a similar strength of schedule, then they would be considered a strong 2 seed. Sometimes we have to throw the names out and just look at the numbers.

It would seem that your own vanity would overcome your ignorance. Don't you want to be right?

Geez,to have the team with the country's longest winning streak this season (18), undefeated in conference play, with a #7 RPI, a unique style of play and a hall of fame coach rated as the last #4 seed is just plain stupid. Come to think of it, since you have no credibility...I shouldn't even waste my time here. g'bye.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I actually am considering what you've said, and completely redoing my seeding without prior bias.

I will admit a bias against Memphis, but I will be watching them to try to correct that bias.
