The list of teams the computer says should have been in the tournament are listed below, but the only change from yesterday is that Mississippi State's close loss to Kentucky did indeed move them ahead of Virginia Tech. But that doesn't really matter now as the picks have been made so lets list them by seeds:
Note: Updated 3/15 AM to include all, not just Division I-A games in the source data. Only minor changes
- #1's
- Kansas - The computer agrees they are a 1 and that they are the top seed overall.
- Kentucky - Only to the second team and the computer disagrees having UK #5 and thus should have been a 2.
- Duke - Yep, a 1 with the computer having them #2 overall.
- Syracuse - Yep, a 1 as well and #3 overall.
- #2's
- Ohio State - A 2 is appropriate (#8 overall)

So, a few seeds way off (Utah State, Richmond, BYU, Missouri) , and three that the computer says shouldn't have made it (UNLV, Wake Forest, and Florida). Who should have made it instead of those 2? Virginia Tech should have been the last team in (#45), Mississippi State right behind them (#44), and Dayton should also have made it (#42).
Here is the list of who should have made it. Those with an asterisk got the auto-bids for their conferences.
