Seeding
These are not my predictions, but they are what I would do if I was in charge of seeding. I will do the top half of the bracker (1-8 seeds). Ultimately, I think the 1 seeds are the only super serious contenders, but I could see any of the 2s making a run as well.
1 seeds: Arizona, Duke, Michigan, Florida
2 seeds: Houston, Gonzaga, UConn, Michigan State
3 seeds: Illinois, Purdue, Kansas, Texas Tech
4 seeds: Iowa State, Nebraska, Alabama, Virginia
5 seeds: Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Louisville, North Carolina
6 seeds: Wisconsin, Tennessee, BYU, St. John’s
7 seeds: St. Mary’s, Miami, Georgia, Kentucky
8 seeds: Clemson, Iowa, Villanova, St. Louis
