| Wisconsin Milwaukee Panthers with Sekou Konneh St Thomas More Wisconsin High class of 2024 beat Youngstown St by 13 points, Wisconsin Milwaukee is at scenic & bustling Milwaukee which is fine midwest city, Panthers is nickname having great connotations like as in Carolina Panthers, we have conference tournaments i.e. always spectacular Horizon League tournament coming up so i'll be watching for bid thieves at A 10 & Big East & MAC & Mountain West & West Coast Conference since those conferences can send bid thief our way & it's fun to have bid thieves since it usually makes bracketology easier & brings dose of chaos to the last weeks Of season before big dance. I can't wait for what Panthers do next season at mens basketball since their univ has amazing athletic department that brought positive publicity to them. |
march madness.
I have a compunction to place d1 teams which lost players due to injury, lost players due to transfer, suffer quad 3 or quad 4 losses, teams which get involved in transportation crashes (which are rare but horrible) or which suck in last some games they played: all conditions I mentioned means I won't place them as higher seeds. Those are bad. I have to congratulate d1 teams which gained players back from injury, gained players due to eligible transfer, achieve quad 1 or quad 2 wins, teams which don't get involved in transportation crashes or which excel in last several games they played: all conditions I mentioned means I will place them as higher seeds for march madness. Those are fine. Other thing to consider. I place team with best win out Of its conference as that conference autobid. So if a Missouri Valley team beats a #1 Kentucky Wildcats team, that Missouri Valley team placed as that conference autobid. Ok. Rule about team with best win out Of its conference as that autobid only applies in nonconference play when there are no conference standings to apply to d1. Only applies when team with best win out Of its conference has winning record; so no losing record or .500 teams will be receiving autobid. This best win out Of its conference rule makes me differ from other bracketology sites. I believe if team has best win out Of its conference then they can easily beat some weaker teams in their conference, win their conference tournament & get autobid that year. Thus for non power conferences any squad which has best win out Of its conference can be seeded from 7 to 16, but they will still in my opinion be considered conference's autobid. I don't think I'll do best conference record as autobid come conference play. I will probably do best overall record as autobid come conference play. Need to figure cbb things out. If u want me to do best conference record or want best overall record, leave comment below. Currently, I plan on doing best overall record as autobid for march madness. For example say in 2025 through 2026 season, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs have best overall record, but Miners have best conference record (this exact scenario actually happened, with Mean Green being the best conference record at C USA team instead Of Miners, in 2019 through 2020 season), then Louisiana Tech Bulldogs would be autobid for C USA. Reason I think this is because team with best overall record is likely better team & definitely could beat team with best conference record in conference tourney ok. Those are 2 rules I have for putting 1 team as autobid. Thus be happy to see ur team do great & get autobid if scenarios come true. I enjoy making seeds. That's all folks.

footnotes.
For my seeds, here's format to decipher them. I'll briefly explain. Going for march madness, each # corresponds to overall tournament seed. E.g., 1.-> 1 overall march madness seed. Going for nit, each # which is 16 & over corresponds to overall tournament seed but each Unseeded Team has no #s attached. E.g., 1. -> 1 overall nit seed while Unseeded Team doesn't -> any #. Going for basketball crown, each basketball crown # usually corresponds to teams with winning record at 2025 through 2026 season & will have 2 teams from Big XII, 2 teams from Big East & 2 teams from Big 10 while also including potpourri Of other conferences at division 1. E.g. 4. would be team with fine winning record at conference alphabetically near top Of alphabet & 7. would be team with membership at conference alphabetically below above conferences. Going for cbi, each cbi # usually corresponds to teams with winning record at 2025 through 2026 season & will have lots Of teams at American Conference, A 10, ACC, Big XII, Big East, Big 10, C USA, Mountain West & SEC at college basketball. E.g., 4. would be team with fine winning record at conference alphabetically near top Of alphabet & 9. would be team with membership at conference alphabetically below above conferences. Going for basketball classic, each # usually corresponds to conference alphabetically. E.g., 5. would be team with best winning record remaining at conference alphabetically near top Of alphabet & 16. would be team with fine record at conference alphabetically below teams above it & there won't be any teams which come from American Conference, A 10, ACC, Big XII, Big East, Big 10, C USA, Mountain West & SEC because these conferences don't participate in basketball classic. Use footnotes when u're trying to decipher my seeding above. That's my tips. I followed the rules with regard to march madness & nit seeding & march madness, nit, cbi & basketball classic location. So be fine with reading my # lists for 4 tournaments at d1.
