Syracuse hasn't caught a lot breaks when it comes to seeding the last few years  you are correct. I know we expected them to be the #1 seed a few years ago (2015 season) and they didn't get it and then we expected them to be a 4 or 5 last year and got a freeking 8.

That being said SU has wins over Duke, Albany, ND, Hopkins and UNC the last three being on the road. Those are enormous wins, they also at least to date haven't lost a game against an inferior opponent ala Hobart or Cornell (this years team). If SU beat Bingo and Colgate but lost in the ACC tourney I would be shocked if they were not a top 2 seed as they would have only 2 losses on the season with a top 3 RPI a top 10 SOS. Last year SU got the shaft for sure but also got punished for a bad loss to Cornell and blowing late leads vs Duke and Hopkins and getting destroyed by ND.  That being said they should have been a 6 seed at probably worst.  This year the Div  1 field is much more wide open then it was last year as Loyola and Yale need the AQ just to get in.  As for Denver the BE is a pretty bad conference so even if they win out (they should) there not going to get much of a bump as Prov and Villanova are fringe top 20-25 teams at best.
