This is my first attempt at a tournament projection, so let me know what you think.

Edit: For some reason, the site it taking the spacing out.

This can't possibly be right.  I don't see Texas on there.  I believe they have an automatic bid every year.  It's their birthright.

Not top 8 in the RPI, but well within the top 16. They'll host.

A&M has an outside shot at a national seed as well (currently 8th in the RPI - depends on how things shake out after the conference tournaments).

I like any regional where we don't have to play Dallas Baptist.

+1. Damn them.

Where is DBU ranked? What are the chances of us being a #2 host for them?

[SnoopFrogs11]

I think we're cursed against DBU.

We've beaten OU twice this year. Time to break the curses.

LSU just beat South Carolina twice on their own field and won the SEC. How do they rank below 2 other SEC teams that they beat 2 out 3 and on the road?
