I can never remember a year where a 1-seed is so indistinguishable from a 3-seed this late.
Nova's having a nice season, but do you really see a lot of difference between them and Miami, currently projected a 3? The top 11 really seem like a pick'em to me. The drop off really doesn't happen until that last 3-seed and into the 4s (Oregon seems a slight step down, as do teams like KY, Dayton and Iowa State ... TAMU another step down from that and frankly I would seed TX and Notre Dame over them with Duke/TAMU a very close call).
I know, I know, the next four weeks teams will distinguish themselves a bit more. Or not. But I would hate to be the committee if the season were to end today (or if the top of the Big XII, ACC, and B1G stay so jumbled until the end).
