Anyone care to explain Texas getting. . .
a 4 seed and BYU getting an 8 seed? This thing is so rigged.

Texas was willing to play in either the Thu/Sat or the Fri/Sun games, but since not all 65 teams are that cordial, it caused some shuffling around. The chain reaction resulted in Texas being bumped from a 5 to a 4, and BYU sliding from a 6 to a 7.
Additionally, there is a rule that a conference champion will not face any teams from its conference within the same bracket. For example, note that in Florida's bracket there are no other SEC teams. That resulted in more shuffling around, and with BYU restricting itself to Thu/Sat availability only, slid them from a 7 to an 8. |

I'm still wondering how Vanderbilt got a #6 seed.

You've got to be kidding. The pundits say Texas will beat North Carolina. Texas has the best player in the country. I'm a Georgetown fan and am thankful GU is a 2 seed not a 1 so it can play Wazu or whoever beats Wazu instead of Texas if it gets to the Sweet 16. Texas would dismember BYU. It wouldn't be pretty. Texas is underseeded.

Until you have seen this guy play, you haven't seen anything. He could easily start for 75% of the NBA teams right now. He is what Lebron James would have been at the college level. Fact is that Texas would evicerate BYU, Durant would hang 50 points on them being double covered the entire game. He put up 37 against Kansas, who is a really good defensive team. He averaged about 30 points in two games against Texas A&M who is the best defensive team in the country. Just having Durant makes Texas a 4th seed. Watch this guy, he is unbelievable. All this comming from someone who literally hates TU. |

I know the consensus among the NBA is that when a potentially great big man is available in the draft,,,,that being Oden,,,you take him, but if I'm a G.M. drafting #1 this year I take Kevin Durrant.
He'll be an All-Star his rookie season and a superstar in a very short time. He's the best player I've seen in college in a very long time.

Does a team with a superstar or two ever go undefeated anymore?
