From Glass:

I am actually very happy with my top 4 seed lines. I would be interested in any arguments against including any of the top 16 lines in favor of anyone else. Florida might have a case...maybe...

The B12 is bizarro SEC. 6 teams in the top 4 seed lines!

Also now that we've rolled into February I have started to make a few... executive decisions with my seeding order.  (Ex: I swapped St Louis off the 4 line in favor of Texas Tech because it made more sense) At this point in the process I am be ok with moving teams up or down a seed line in order to get to a happier bracket (which I should start sending your way in March).

Miami OH's inevitable slide down has begun. They won twice last week but still slipped all the way to an 8 seed because they don't play anyone (until they meet Akron again in the MAC final) who will actually help their resume. So as other teams pick up big wins, the Redhawks will steadily lose ground.

BoilerUp89: The seeds list was sent after midnight going into Monday, so it's posted now. I'll leave most of my comments for the commenting section, but note for glass - you can have the Dayton at-large games on two different seed lines and teams from the same conference can play in Dayton.
