I wouldn't give the Wichita State Shockers a 1 seed even if they went undefeated. They shouldn't even be in contention for a 1 seed if the committee actually does what they say and ranks teams based on who they have played and beaten. I think Wichita State could make the Final Four because they are that good, but their schedule just isn't worthy of a 1 seed. If the committee does give them a 1 seed I hope they put Kansas, Florida type team as their 2 seed just to balance out of the brackets, and puts a team that could have been a 1 seed in the Wichita bracket just to balance things out.

In 1998 Princeton went 26-1 and only got a 5 seed. Wichita State made the Final Four last year, but their non-conference schedule is not good enough to overcome the MVC schedule.
