Unfortunately for Tennessee, the committee seems to ignore results of Sunday Championship games so I think these are the resumes they are using.

IMO, the 4 1 seeds (in order) are:

1) Auburn - 16 Q1 wins, #2 SOS are the biggest factors
2) Duke - 3 losses, 16-3 in Q1/Q2, no losses outside of Q1
3) Florida - Tough here between Houston and Florida but I think the Q2 loss for Houston gives UF the nod
4) Houston - 2nd most Q1 wins, only 4 losses. Won both the B12 and B12T.

That leaves Tennessee, Alabama, MSU and St Johns having to settle for the 2 seed, which isn't a bad place to be.

First of all we haven't beaten UF for the SECT. However, if we do there is going to be one pissed off della if we are a #1. Also, your charts will need to be updated.

You want to be pissed off at someone, be pissed off at the SEC for scheduling a championship game a few hours before the bracket reveal. The committee has a massive job to do and unless they need a contingency bracket for a possible bid thief, they've consistently ignored Selection Sunday games.

The B1G has the same issue.

I'll have enough anger to spread it around. However, it's not such a big job. Yesterday's games should be plugged in and they have the aid of computers.

The bigger issue is all the other rules they have to follow. It's not as easy as just swapping teams. That could cause them to violate other bracketing rules. I've spent much more time on this in my life than is healthy and can confidently say how difficult it is.

I have all the respect in the world for your knowledge pertaining to CBB. I really mean that. However, yesterday's numbers should already be plugged in and the rules and restrictions should be plugged in.
