March Madness Pre-Tournament Rankings

College basketball takes a lot more time to do rankings for so all of you have probably noticed the silence on this blog.  But with the NCAA Basketball Tournament starting shortly I had to make the time to get current rankings through the games played Sunday the 13th.

So here they are.  And it is interesting to make a few observations.

The 1 seeds are the top-4 in my rankings so things line up there but things aren't so clear with the 2's.  Only San Diego State should be a 2 with Notre Dame close at #9 but UNC and Florida are way down at #15 and #18.  Are they the 2's most likely to lose early?

Who was robbed?  Texas should be a 2 but is only a 4, Kentucky the same, and Purdue is close as a 3.

I'll be filling out a bracket using these rankings so lets see how they do compared to other polls and systems.  Stay tuned.
