50+ different BRACKET PROJECTIONS updated almost daily

Now that we are in the home stretch, here the most comprehensive bracketology info I've seen (50+ brackets by everyone from espn to bracketproject) At this point Xavier is listet as mostly a 2 seed..up to a 4. Other A-10 teams are not so lucky. Here's the link:

At the bottom of the page is a "Find teams on the bubble and others receiving votes here." tab. A couple of A-10 teams are there (Including Dayton, how in gods name are they still in the picture...the talking heads keep trumping their two "great" ooc wins against Louis. and Pitt yet always failing to mention how decimated each of these teams were. They are fighting to make their conf. tourny., and yet still get some votes for an at-large. The Bonnies or the Hawks need to put them of their misery...I thought GW, DUQ, Lasalle, and finally X, had been the final nails in the Dumps' coffin. Yet their RPI is 35 (UD is the poster child for why that system is absolute garbage, and was put together by a bunch of retarded chimps) According to Sagarin and Palm Ud ranks #73 and #72 respectively. Those rankings seem quite a bit more applicable to our northern friends.

Here was a bracket that I thought would make for many a storyline:

The NIT bracket is interesting. It has UD a 3 seed and St. Joes & URI a 4 seed. Miami(OH) comes in as a 7 seed.

Interesting that only three 2nd seeds are noted in the average of all those projections. If X gets that 2nd seed and the 15th seeds hold true to that projection X would be playing

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
