As we continue to breakdown this year's bracket, there are teams that were seeded either too high or too low. There are teams that do not deserve to be there. New Mexico and Notre Dame comes to mind as overseeded. West Virginia and Tennessee are underseeded, Florida and Minnesota are teams that do not deserve to be in the tourney. Who are your teams that are overseeded, underseeded, and undeserved?

I think New Mexico and West Virginia are seeded right. I also think that Minnesota should be there. I agree on your Florida and Notre Dame statements.

Show some respect to New Mexico. I've watched them play several times. Them and BYU both will be tough outs.

Purdue is kind of hard to determine where they should be seeded, but it's obvious that they are nowhere near as good without hummel.

Minnesota should definitely be there. Florida is underserving of a spot and Duke is undeserving of that their easy setup. Nova and Notre Dame are overseeded. Tennessee, Cornell, and Temple are underseeded. New Mexico is right where they should be

UTEP got jobbed IMO, especially comparing them to UF.

New Mexico is seeded about right. Notre Dame should be kissing Guerrero's ass right now for that gift of a seed. Wasn't ND just on the bubble heading into the Big East tournament, and now, all of a sudden, they're a higher overall seed than Tennessee?

UTEP, IMO, shouldn't be a 12. They should be around a 7-9 seed, and what's even more unfortunate is the fact that they draw Butler, who is about as hot as a team can be, coming into this thing. IMO, BYU should be a seed higher as well.

The more I think about it, the more that I think that West Virginia deserved the 4th #1 over the Cuse.

People are swayed by their performance in the conference tournament. When they argue that MSU should be in over UF because they had similar records and because MSU beat UF by 6 in the tournament, they conveniently forget that UF beat MSU by a wider margin in the regular season and also that UF went 6-0 versus the SECW. They also forget that UF had non conference wins over Michigan State and FSU and also played Syracuse, whereas MSU's best out of conference game was Old Dominion.

Had they taken MSU over Florida I'd have been unhappy about it, but I'd have understood and chalked it up to the committee exercising its discretion. Same can be said of them having decided to invite UF instead of MSU. Close call, but not nearly as questionable as the anti-UF contingent would like to make it out to be.

Florida is in at a 10, which means they were never on the bubble. Their body of work and some quality wins got them in.

MSU was terrible all year, but showed up for the tournament - too little too late.

And UF beat MSU head to head.

I have no problem with UF being in and I have no problem with MSU being out. But if MSU had gotten in I would have no problem with that either.
