Good start for the year.
Nova and SHU should switch spots tho.

I think providence, creighton, and georgetown can all be better than those projections. unfortunately, i don't think Nova and SHU will be as good as advertised. we will have 6-7 teams bunched in the top 20

It's tough though for a round robin league to have more than 3-4 teams in the top 25. Even look at the KP projections- teams with 8 conference losses along with 3-4 OOC losses- that's 11-12 losses- those aren't in the top 25 normally.
I think SHU may be as good as advertised, but their schedule is brutal. from Ken Pom Ratings-
#1 Michigan St
#30 Oregon
#9 Gonzaga/#229 So Miss(talk about a huge 1st game in Atlantis)
#6 UNC/#21 Michigan/#47 Iowa St/#70 Alabama(no matter what a tough game)
@ #47 Iowa St
@ #63 Rutgers
#16 Maryland
They could be a good team and get 4-5 losses tagged to them there. They have for sure 6 tough games, and a 7th is very possible.

That's a meat-grinder of a non-conference slate.

Three top-4 seeds is very good. I know you'll point to three 8/9 seeds, but potentially having several top seeds would be very beneficial.

Would not be bad at all. Any league that gets three top four seeds is doing well. That's three "Top 16" teams.
I do hope Georgetown makes the tourney, however.
Nats wins, S20. Two down and two to go. Good luck.

oh yeah.... Seton Hall is going to be really interesting to see. I think they're probably the most talented team- but they have such an absolute brutal schedule that you could easily see them going into conference play with 4 or even 5 losses.
Will say this, if SH enters conference play with only 2 losses, they have a great shot at a top seed.

it's tough in this situation to get Georgetown in... I mean for the league to get 3 top 4 seeds, those teams are going to have to get a lot of conference wins- like at least 12-13 for all 3 of them. Then for the other 3 to get top 8-9 seeds- going to take 10 at least. That's 69 conference wins just right there for the top 6 seeds, with only 21 left for the other 4 teams. 12 of those 21 wins are just head to head with the other 4 teams playing each other. Doesn't leave many wins vs the top 6 teams.
I think it'll be interesting to see just how good St John's and DePaul are this year. If they are 5-6 win good- it's goign to really put a crunch on that 2nd tier of teams.

Could make their OOC schedule really bad. Really put them behind the 8 ball- already only 35th - so it's really not that far away from Dayton and the NIT

Disagree. The scenario above would definitely make it work as a lock... but it doesn't have to be that way. Several of the top tier BE teams have some pretty difficult OOC schedules. 3 teams can get top seeds and we could still get 3 maybe even 4 (that's a stretch) in with 9 wins in conference play. Heck, if Seton hall blows the doors off their OOC but slip in conference play, they could still get in with 8 conference wins depending on who they win/lose to. I feel like a broken record, but OOC matters and affects bids just as much as conference play.

Definitely agree with you that OOC matters....
HOWEVER- for the Big East to get 3 top 4 seeds- the 3 teams are going to have to go bare minimum 12-6 in conference play..... And have done really well in OOC. last year for top 4 seeds- every single top 4 seed had at most 9 losses. With only 4 having more than 7 losses.
Also- Seton Hall could get in the tourney with 8 conference wins and a great OOC with the schedule they have- but is sure as hell wouldn't be as a top 4 seed.

Yeah, in this scenario Seton hall wouldn't be one of those top seeds. I'm just saying it doesn't "have" to turn out with the requirements put up above. There's so many variables, a lot more ways for the scenario to turn out. Right now, I'm just being cautiously optimistic for a strong OOC season for the BE this year and then we'll see where things stand.
