I should have clarified, we'd be projected as a 1 seed if we are 23-0.

Before last game we were projected as a 1 seed in 9 brackets. Have to assume that increased with the last win but I understand your point. At 23-0, we would be a 1 seed in virtually all brackets.

I wasn't too far off on most of my guess. I was just going off the past few tournament seedings.

Huskers are still a 2 seed in ESPN's latest guess. They would play UT Martin in Oklahoma City. B1G has 9 teams in the bracket with USC & Ohio State in the last four in, UCLA in the first four out and Indiana in next four out.

Huskers are a 2 seed at Bracket Matrix. They are as high as a 1 seed (9 out of 81 brackets) and as low as a 3 seed (6 brackets). It was updated last night.

Conference tourney is always kind of a crapshoot and I have no idea how much weight the selection committee puts on it for top-end P5 teams, but if we finish the regular season with 3 or fewer losses, I have a hard time seeing how Nebraska doesn't get a 1 seed.

Huskers are up to a 2 seed in the CBS Sports guess today. They would play Marist. CBS doesn't give locations but has them in the East Region.
