Seed Predictions for NCAA Tournament Teams

Oklahoma Sooners

The world was robbed of Kansas-Oklahoma III in the Big 12 championship game, all because Buddy Hield didn't get his half-court heave off in time.

That shot could've been the difference between a potential No. 1 seed and a No. 4 seed. The Sooners willed their way back from double digits to even take the lead against West Virginia in the Big 12 semifinals, showing just how good WVU is and how stacked the Big 12 is.

Just because Oklahoma isn't vying for a conference title this year, doesn't mean they don't deserve a top-three seed. ESPN.com's Joe Lunardi has the Sooners at No. 2 in the South region, but it may take one upset in a conference title game (like Seton Hall over Villanova, for example) to cause some madness in the brackets. Right now, Oklahoma is a No. 3 with a chance to be a No. 2 if some upsets happen Saturday.

Indiana Hoosiers

Well, that escalated quickly. Indiana won the Big Ten regular-season title, only to get beaten at the buzzer by an average Michigan Wolverines squad.

Two days ago, the Hoosiers could've been seen as a top-three seed had they at least made the semifinals. As the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten, losing in the quarterfinals is the worst thing that could've happened. It may not seem like much, given Michigan's pedigree the last number of years, but expecting Indiana to be a sleeper may not be a good idea, per Steve Deace of theĀ Washington Times:

Indiana may be given the benefit of the doubt because of being regular-season champions, but it wouldn't be a shocker to see the Hoosiers drop to a No. 5 seed.

Utah Utes

This is all contingent on the Utes defeating Oregon in the Pac-12 title game. If Utah wins, a No. 2 seed could be in its future.

Lunardi has Utah at No. 3 in the Midwest region, with the No. 2 seed being Xavier. After the Musketeers lost to Seton Hall in the Big East semifinals, this could be a case where one major conference winner can leapfrog in favor of a higher seed.

Both Oregon and Utah went to overtime on Friday night, meaning rest will not be aplenty. But the Utes will get a No. 2 seed if they beat the Ducks. A loss, however, won't be a bad thing. That just means Utah stays in the top three.
