Same rules as always. This is the predicted S-Curve. No attempt to bracket teams per principles (so Mizzou almost assuredly won't be playing Wichita first round, for example). The S-Curve reads left to right on the odd numbers, right to left on the even (i.e. Zags are #1, Iowa is #8 and so on) This was current as of earlier this afternoon so some numbers may have changed slightly (or will change). Unless I do it at 6 a.m., that's going to be the case with daytime games going on. Again, this is attempting to replicate what the committee did based on their 2019 bracket (and data on team sheets) as well as the bracket preview released earlier this year.

Last 4 in: Xavier, MSU, Boise, Syracuse

First 12 out in order: Indiana, Drake, SLU, SMU, Seton Hall, Minnesota, Ole Miss, WKU, Memphis, Penn State, Utah State, Duke


BYU and Virginia Tech seem to me to be the biggest differences from most projections.
