I always laugh at these predictions, not because that is a bad lineup, but because without a bracket, there is no way to know who the final four teams will beFinal Four in 2020:
Villanova
Iowa
Gonzaga
Michigan State
Oh I had a bracket. I just took some liberties to include Iowa because Iowa > everyone.I always laugh at these predictions, not because that is a bad lineup, but because without a bracket, there is no way to know who the final four teams will be
Correct.the same gonzaga u also have in the FF???
Correct.
I switched Iowa so they came out of another region......because f*** Wisconsin, that's why.
Would you like me to share the bracket?

@dukedevilz what are your thoughts on this bracket?
Even with made up brackets, UK can't catch a break.I think than south bracket is absolutely LOADED and doubt the ncaaT would do that to number 1 overall Kansas. Jk looks great man makes me wonder what could have been.
You did give duke the cakewalk bracket so that lines up. Not sure how they play all their games in NC out of the west bracket but I’m sure the NCAA would figure something out.

I had to go with the standings as they were, and not assume who would win the conference tournaments, which obviously can make a huge impact on how and where teams are seeded, especially when you have mid major favorites get ousted by lower seeds. And of course, teams can and will improve (or hurt) their potential seed line based on the tournament.If you take the KenPom numbers, the South doesn't look like anything special. You could probably say you have the top 1 and 3 seed. After that, not so much. Kentucky's value was probably diminished a bit by the loss to Evansville. But, they weren't exactly steamrolling folks, either. 15 of their 25 wins were by single-digits. I don't think Kentucky was deserving of a 2 seed. 3 seed, perhaps.
Kansas- 1
Louisville- 9
Wisconsin- 22
Kentucky- 29
Auburn- 33
And not sure why you think Duke had an easy path in this hypothetical. BYU had one of the most potent offenses in the country. Led the nation in 3-point field goal percentage. Gonzaga had the most efficient offense. After that, potentially San Diego State or Oregon in the West Finals. Those two schools had two of the best playmakers in all of college basketball. Guards win in March, so facing the gauntlet wouldn't exactly be easy, especially in the West. And giving Duke a 4-seed isn't doing us any favors. We beat the ACC Champs, the Big 12 champs, and the Big Ten champs. 5 of our 6 losses were close. I think we probably would have been a 3 seed. Probably a 2-seed if we got past FSU in the ACC Semis.

I do remember when I first showed this someone mentioning about St. Mary's and Utah State having played, which was just an oversight on my part.
And some of the seeds were based on my subjective opinion of either how I thought they were playing or how I thought they compared matchup-wise to other teams. I did try to rank every team 1-68 before drafting the brackets.
Oh and I, uh, may have perhaps seeded Duke a spot lower because I'd rather prefer Iowa never plays Duke in a 2nd Rd NCAA Tournament game ever again...............unofficially speaking, of course.
FSU would have been a contender for sure.Y’all just needed to avoid FSU in your region.
Louisville was playing as good as anyone last year, I definitely believe that Louisville could’ve made a run.
