Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5709457, member: 1969"] The committee really stuck to consensus - no major deviations. I have never seen the same # of teams match up seed wise. There was less than 10 teams on the top 11 seed lines that were off by a line, and none were off by two lines. - According to the Matrix, it would have been Michigan St 2, Purdue 3... and it was the opposite... but I imagine many predicted that 3 for Purdue purely based on the committee historically ignoring the results of the B10 final. So the committee actually did that part right. - Vanderbilt was predicted as a strong 4, and they were a 5 - Utah St was predicted as a strong 8 by the matrix, and they ended up as a 9. - NC st was predicted as a 10, and they came in as a 11 play in, so they were one of the bigger misses. Also of note, the matrix had St. John's as #18, which matched where the committee placed them. The Big East struggled this year. - [/QUOTE]
