Perhaps I should bite my tongue more often. With two unfortunate losses, Wake Forest has dropped off of the one seed line, and Oklahoma has taken that spot. Lots of movement elsewhere – my Irish have dropped to the eight line, and that’s probably the best they can fair. Memphis has proved me wrong, and jumps up to the five line. They could climb higher, if they go undefeated in conference. Penn State’s shocker in Lansing has forced me to consider that they may be among the best in the Big 10, earning them a spot on the six line. Meanwhile, the top SEC team (Tennessee) has been pushed down to the eight line. This is what happens when you don’t win games. Also, an incredible six Big East teams on the top four seed lines. This is what happens when none of your losses are counted as "bad".

LOL!! Notre Dame as an 8. On the bright side I think they might bw the favorite to win the NIT
I wondered who in their right mind would put Notre Dame as high as an eight seed... and seeing that you call them "my Irish", I see why. Time to put your green and gold colored glasses away and face the facts:
The Irish currently have a #76 RPI, they're just 2-7 against the RPI top 100, they're currently riding a 5-game losing streak, and their 3-6 Big East mark puts them in 11th place.
You tell me again why they're an 8 seed... unless they somehow get back to .500 in the Big East, they shouldn't be anywhere near an NCAA bracket, let alone an 8 seed.
