Re-Seed Midwest

1. Purdue (3)
2. Tennessee (7)
3. Creighton (11)
4. Gonzaga (15)
5. Kansas (22)
6. Texas (27)
7. TCU (33)
8. Colorado State (38)
9. Utah State (48)
10. South Carolina 49
11. Oregon (55)
12. McNeese State (60)
13. Virginia (69)

Notes

- Potential chaos region. 4&5 are on high alert. Zags are a year away. If they can keep the roster together, they’ll be in the mix to enter 2024-25 as the number 1 team. Kansas was a bit of a mess roster-wise before the injuries. 4-5 losing benefits Purdue who should beat either the 8 or 9.

- Virginia is a disgrace which means a sweet-16 probably. I’d have to look but they’re one of the worst at-large bid teams from a KenPom perspective in history. Tempted to ride Colorado State into the Sweet 16 and Niko Medved taking the Michigan gig. Tennessee has entered prove it territory for me. Big time trust issues, Vols.

- If the Sweet 16 is 1, 3, 10, 12, wouldn’t be surprised. I promised myself I’d pick Purdue after Maui but let’s do what I’ve historically done and break all promises to myself and pick Creighton. Better defense than you think and a top-15 offense. Plus, a body to throw at Edey.
