It's nice to see Maryland listed on the potential winner list. As a MD grad who attended during the back to back final four runs and the National Championship, at least for now making the sweet 16 would be nice - anything more would be gravy. Maybe I'm underestimating them.

It's possible. I get twitchy about BYU though. They've underachieved so much and so often that I'm always nervous advancing them beyond seed projections. Duke hasn't been much better of late. Check out the Top Performers list for teams...BYU is the fourth lowest performer against seed expectations (sometimes you have to refresh that page to get it to work...a glitch I haven't had time to fix). My guess is that the soft SOS over the years has something to do with that. All that said, high scoring, high margin, high efficiency are all good indicators of strong tourney performance. Should be interesting to see what the Cougars can do. ... more » « less

How about BYU with a top- flight Pythag (#6) and a healthy 18 PPG margin? Could BYU make a surprising march? I do agree their SOS is just this side of being D- II. They could be a #3/#4 is some teams ahead of them lose, but I'm guessing they'll end up #5 just on SOS alone. Since hope springs eternal - BYU and Duke shake off years of underachievement to take advantage of a weak Pythag tourney!
