The NCAA Event choice committee’s early reveal of the highest 16 total seeds Saturday morning featured SEC dominance, the return of a training legend and one consultant from the western half of the nation.

Auburn was the No. 1 total seed, adopted by Alabama, Duke and Florida.

Arizona, which sputtered early however has rolled by the Large 12, acquired a No. 3 seed from the committee and was the No. 12 total seed.

No different crew from the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones — that’s 1.2 million sq. miles, for these scoring at dwelling — appeared within the committee’s high 16.

The West Coast’s woeful exhibiting makes excellent sense primarily based on latest outcomes however constitutes a notable shift from what may need been anticipated previous to the beginning of the season.

Gonzaga, ranked sixth within the AP preseason ballot, misplaced a number of shut video games in December and has been unusually wobbly in West Coast Convention play.

UCLA, ranked No. 22 within the preseason, has struggled on the highway in convention play (however leads the Large Ten in public complaints concerning the journey).

Oregon, which had a stellar November, has dropped six of its previous eight.

New Mexico and Utah State, the most effective groups within the mediocre Mountain West, are nowhere close to the cutoff line for a high 16 seed.

There are three weeks of regular-season play remaining, plus convention tournaments. That’s sufficient time for groups on the match bubble, together with Boise State, Brigham Younger and San Diego State, to enhance their positions.

However at this price, the area may produce an embarrassingly small contingent of March Insanity qualifiers.

Different reactions from the Saturday morning seed reveal:

— Arizona was the one crew from the area however had loads of firm from its convention. The Large 12 produced 5 of the 16 groups. The SEC led all convention with six alternatives and had 5 of the highest six.

“The SEC has had a phenomenal year,” Bubba Cunningham, the committee chair and North Carolina’s athletic director, instructed CBS throughout the seed reveal.

The truth is, the Large 12, SEC and Large Ten accounted for 14 of the 16 spots, with Duke because the ACC’s solely consultant.

— One crew that doesn’t play main faculty soccer made the lower: St. John’s, which is 21-4 beneath second-year coach Rick Pitino.

The 2-time nationwide champion and Naismith Corridor of Famer is aiming to take his sixth totally different college to the NCAAs, following March runs with Boston, Windfall, Kentucky, Louisville and Iona.

— 4 groups unranked within the AP preseason ballot made the lower: St. John’s, Texas Tech, Michigan and Wisconsin.

— Whereas the seed reveal brings no ensures, it has confirmed to be a reasonably correct reflection of what to anticipate when the brackets are unveiled in 4 weeks.

Final 12 months, 14 of the 16 groups included within the early reveal remained within the high 16 seeds, albeit with some motion, on Choice Sunday. (San Diego State and Wisconsin, which had been No. 4 seeds in mid-February, ended up with No. 5 seeds for the NCAAs.)

All in all, the hit price is excessive. Of the 128 groups included within the eight years for the reason that NCAA started the early seed reveal train, 110 have acquired top-16 total seeds within the official brackets.

That’s successful price of 86 %.

 

— Extra broadly, the early reveal has been an unqualified success for the NCAA, elevating the curtain sufficient to supply wanted transparency however not a lot that the committee turns into boxed in when the time involves create the official bracket.

In that regard, the method is each the antithesis of, and a mannequin for the Faculty Soccer Playoff.

The weekly top-25 rankings exhibits in November, designed to fulfill ESPN’s programming wishes, creates immense issues for the CFP choice committee when it picks the sector.

Positive, controversy at some stage is unavoidable. However the weekly exhibits lower a lot deeper by undermining belief within the course of and repeatedly putting the committee chair in place to look hypocritical from one week to the following.

Ideally, the CFP would observe the NCAA’s mannequin and provide the general public a single peek on the working high 25 in the course of November.

On the very least, it should eradicate the rankings present on the Tuesday earlier than convention championships.

In fact, that may require faculty soccer to face as much as ESPN and settle for a downward revision to the income settlement with its broadcast companion.

And everyone knows how doubtless that’s.
