This isn't my prediction, but Kalshi seems* to give us these odds:

1 seed: 20%
Top 2 seed: 41%
Top 3 seed: 56%
Top 4 seed: 65%

Regular season wins:
27+: 10%
24+: 46%
21+: 71%
18+: 82%

So the mid-point is around 23-9 and a borderline 2/3 seed.

*The "no" prices are more reliable than the "yes" prices, but they are still not great for fringe markets like these

Put me down for 27-5. I think we drop two non-con games and 3 B1G games. Then B1G tourney champs, then NC game runner up...

I cut your very good post down to just this, so that I could say "I think this way often."
Remember when the Big Ten was 10 teams and you could play everyone once in football and twice in basketball?
Was that about perfect or what?
