You're going to see a lot of shuffling, but Florida State and Southern Cal would probably be two to be in their as of today. Tennessee is a team that may or may not be in there, when all's said and done. They look at times, like they could win it all, and at other times, play like they couldn't beat Wheeling Jesuit. Same thing with Virginia.

I haven't seen Houston play, but they'll be a team you don't want to face in the dance, as well as Illinois, Iowa, and Florida State.
 
You also left out Texas and Creighton. Both of those teams may end up seeded as a 3 or 4.

If Texas beats WVU again, I think they'll have to be moved ahead of you. Creighton is now playing like everyone thought they would at the first of the year. That's a team you really don't want to face as well.
 
Ohio State still has to play Michigan, Iowa, and Illinois, which all have big men who can play. In addition, the Bucks travel to Penn State and Michigan State, where they've struggled in recent years. What all of this means is that I'd be happy to go 3-2 down the stretch, which would likely result in Ohio State's dropping down to the two line, if not the three line.
 
As of now WVU is 14-6. 4 games left on schedule. Texas, TCU, Baylor, KState. 3 away, 1 at home. Could go 2-2. The Saturday-Thursday stretch of Texas, TCU, Baylor in Texas is a killer. What would be the travel plan? The Big 12 did WVU no favors with this schedule. Is 16-8 worthy of a 3 or 4 seed? I wouldn't venture a guess in this screwed up covid year.

was just about to post the same thing...I think WV loses to Texas they move to a 4 and Texas goes to 3

WV needs 2 of those 3 or an upset of Baylor at home to remain a 3 IMO

3-2 down the stretch leaves them a 1 if the "2" are to the right teams
 
Unfortunately, the three "right teams" are Michigan, Iowa, and Illinois, each of which has a 7 foot (or so) monster who has a huge match-up advantage over the shorter Buckeyes. Further, Ohio State already has won at Iowa and Illinois, so the revenge factor is working against Ohio State in those games, as well. I'd be overjoyed, if Ohio State were to win two of those three games, provided that a win over Michigan is one of them, of course. I expect one B1G team to be a No. 1 seed, but probably not two. Whichever team wins the B1G Tournament will likely be a No. 1 seed, if the winner is any of these four teams.
 
Michigan-Ohio State should be a good game, and probably a low scoring affair. Will be interesting to see how Ohio State plans to defend Michigan, but assume they'll play straight up man, as that seems to be the best way to play against Michigan. If you double team the big guy, then that leaves open shooters, and Dickenson is pretty good at finding the open guy, and tossing it back out. Hard game to predict, as they all seem to be these days, without the normal 'home-court' advantage of having fans present. I don't think Michigan has won there since 2014, and only twice there in the last 20 years. Ohio State needs this one more, but I don't think that will impact the game, as Michigan wants to keep winning as well.

Garza's out put has dipped recently.....maybe after being ridden too hard for too long
 
I was surprised that Garza decided to return to school for this season. Whenever Ohio State has a seven footer who can walk and chew gum at the same time, the guy is one-and-done.
