Would love to see that too. HOWEVER, not only mighty early, the strength of schedule (SOS) will hurt tremendously. Latest RPI (Boyd's World as the NCAA utilized is not updated yet to my knowledge) has LU at 41 with a SOS of 240. The SOS won't raise much or any for the remainder of the season. SLC opponents are scattered from 120 to 230 range, thus no real bump and few strong mid week teams left. Also have TSU that is very low and Alcorn with the lowest RPI (305) in the nation.
A 3 seed, as a 2 seed is essentially the same for tournament design purposes, would be great. Have to agree with my Uncle Spidey on that one.
