Seems like everyone is saying 8 or 9 seed. That may very well end up being the landing spot. However, given our high metrics and the strong conference we play in, perhaps the committee will seed us higher than expected? (like 7?)

I don't know how much weight is given to close losses against top ten teams (especially on the road), but I think NET factors that in -I just don't know how much weight is given to this. If NET ranking is a big factor then I think we may all be pleasantly surprised. We'll find out soon enough!

While I would love to see Iowa as a 7, I will suffer heart palpitations due to shock if Iowa is on that line.

I think they will be in an 8/9 game, or a 10-seed.

Metrics are really good, but gotta admit they stumbled quite a bit on their way to the finish line.

Lunardi is notoriously literally one of the worst predictors at this stuff. As in out of like 150 'experts' he's near the bottom of accuracy every year.
LOL. He got all 68 teams correct this year, and only a handful of teams were more than 1 seed off from his prediction.

Would love to see links showing his notoriously literally poor history.
