A final Sunday-afternoon stab at the Field of 68

The Southeastern Conference gets six teams in the field, but where will they be seeded?

I've taken many hours to thoroughly examine the résumés of NCAA tournament-worthy candidates and compare them to one another. This list was compiled Sunday morning, before any championship games are played, with some implied guesses as to who'll win those games built in. 

So with that, a list of seeds. Teams are listed within those seeds in the order I had them ranked. The NCAA says it will fill the bracket based on an s-curve, but there are also rules and restrictions that govern that and I won't bother with that this morning.

Anyway, my field:

1s

Gonzaga

Baylor

Michigan

Illinois

- I'd be shocked if the NCAA picks any other four teams, though there's a fair debate as to whether Illinois should be listed ahead of Michigan.

2s

Ohio State

Alabama

Iowa

Houston

- One of the great mysteries of the NET is how Houston managed a 5 in that ranking after losing at Tulsa (134) and ECU (180) while beating just two teams inside the top 50 (17-Texas Tech and 50-Boise State).

3s

Texas

Arkansas

Oklahoma St.

Kansas

- Arkansas hoped to get a two earlier in the week, but even if the Razorbacks made the SEC final, it was going to be debatable given what happened in the Big 12 and American tournaments.

4s

West Virginia

Virginia

Tennessee

Florida St.

5s

USC

Creighton

Purdue

Villanova

6s

Colorado

BYU
