CBS just had Dan Gavitt on TV and he just compared Texas and Murray State. Was this a hint or just a ploy to get Murray State's hopes up? The comparison of "opportunities" of top 50 wins. The key numbers being the Racers 0-0 record vs Texas's 3-12 record. Is it conceivable with 15 chances Murray State could have won 3? Absolutely!
Other key numbers:
Indiana's Non-Conference Strength of Schedule = 320. It kept SMU out last year.
Wisconsin 18-2 against the top 100. They won the regular season title and are in the conference final. They are a lock 1 seed in my mind right now.
Ohio State NCSOS's = 329. It's going to cost them a seed line at least.
LSU 12-5 against the top 100. They are not a bubble team.
Last but not least I currently have Virginia over Duke but as I poor over the numbers they are very similar. Duke has more top 100 wins, a tougher SOS and beat them outright. In addition, Virginia needs to be analyzed as what they are now. With Anderson not at 100% they are probably not going to be a 1 seed.

I don't see how you can have Virginny a 1 seed over Duke if you are moving UW up. As you mentioned, Duke has the tougher SOS, the head-to-head, plus Duke also has a victory over UW. It would be more than odd to have Duke a #2 seed when they've beaten two of the #1's outright (assuming VA and UW). This, of course, not knowing all things bracketology.
