I disagree on Baylor being a #1 seed over Kentucky, Tennessee, and Villanova. I did not have Rutgers, Michigan, or Notre Dame. I had BYU, Colorado, and Texas A&M in my tournament.

I thought the loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Tournament; along with the injuries, keep Baylor from getting the 1 seed.

Villanova is #1 in the East Region, because of winning the Big East Tournament and defeating Tennessee earlier in the season.

Notre Dame is the biggest one I have an issue over BYU. Irish lost to Wake Forest. Those Demon Deacons lost to Boston College in the ACC Tournament.

BYU knocked off Oregon, San Diego State, and Texas Southern. They had losses by Utah Valley, Creighton, and Vanderbilt. But I don’t see those losses would keep them and put Notre Dame is in the Tournament.

Here are those bracket projections.
