Top 4 seeds leaked.  Penn st., Florida, Kentucky and Stanford.

Rpi loves UK.  I'm sure some in Austin and Lincoln are furious.

I don't follow nationally in great detail

Stanford is probably deserving or can make a strong argument

but, I would go with Nebraska or Texas over Kentucky

no respect for the B1G

I guess the tourney will show if the B1G deserves more respect

It was a very RPI centric bracket.  Maryland and Iowa don't make it, but High Point with an at large.   I'll post matchups later.

OSU has had an unusual amount of attrition lately. 

Two of last year's freshmen didn't return for their sophomore campaign, one of last year's juniors transferred to NC State, and I noticed yesterday that a freshmen and a sophomore from this year's team were not present at the game. Upon further investigation, both of their names have been deleted from the roster. 

Toss in the fact that the entire Junior class suffered season ending injuries, that may be career ending for all I know. 

I'm not too sure where this program is headed.

All matches Friday/Saturday, times EST based on NCAA posted times (unless noted wrt the two outlier regions). Top 4 seeds own right to host the regionals if they advance. If one of them loses this weekend, next highest seed in bracket will host, that rarely happens in VB. FF is in Kansas City this year.  No cable coverage opening weekend, though streaming options should abound.

A few random thoughts:  Maryland and North Texas were the two biggest snubs. High Point, Charleston,  LSU and NC State had to be last in. PSU and UF were locks for top seeds, Stanford was next closest.  UK was #1RPI, but similar to the CFPs ongoing rankings,  they pulled a pretty big switch at the end.  Nebraska went from #2 in their latest reveal, to #5, and the only thing that changed was Nebraska's RPI probably dipped due to ending with B1G lower tier teams.  UK actually lost a match in that time (swept by UF).  I assume Texas was punished for a softer schedule.   As Fearless noted, shouldn't lose to Northern Iowa, even if it was September.  Hilarious that Stanford may draw Michigan in 2nd round. Michigan has been Stanford's nemesis, beating them twice in the tournament in recent memory.  I can't believe both Mich St and Purdue fell out of top 16. Perhaps the rosy B1G goggles.
If I had to pick an 'unseeded' teams to win each region:  Michigan St, Oregon, Michigan, Cal Poly.

Miami(OH) and Cleveland St are totally gonna play for the NC.  :91:


I had no idea that CVB had their own version of the NIT, but Bowling Green is playing in it.



Here's that bracket. 

----------------------------------------

And Findlay is Ohio's lone representation in the D2 bracket.

They draw GMac West rival Hillsdale(MI), who they have already played thrice. 

Both teams won their home game during the regular season, then Hillsdale hosted and won the GMac Ccg in the most recent game for either team.

Yeah, it was... puzzling.
