[QUOTE="Deleted member 186590, post: 1601224"] Agreed - although being the #3 overall seed ahead of Michigan has some benefits, given we would get the lower ranked non-Big Ten #2 seed (likely Houston rather than Alabama) in our bracket and the weaker non-big ten 4 seed.

If we play well we can beat anyone, but it's always better to have a path with slightly more favorable matchups [/QUOTE]
