Syracuse Bracketology Edition II

Last week I brought you where Syracuse stands in the bracket matrix, a project that takes all the different brackets blogs and main stream media members have created on the internet.

Syracuse is obviously falling and falling fast. Their resume is no longer looking good after losing four of their last five games in Big East play.

There are 28 brackets and Syracuse appears in just seven of them for an average seed of a ten.

  • Shelby's Bracket Wild Ass Guess. Shelby lists Syracuse as one of the last five in as a 12 seed. S.U. is Shelby's lowest rated at large. The Orange are one of Shelby's three teams moving down and one of nine Big East teams in the bracket.
  • Fiddle's Bracketology. Syracuse is a ten seed in this bracket that was updated yesterday. This bracket also has nine teams in it which makes it seem like Syracuse is going to miss out on a record year for the Big East.
  • MAG NCAA Tournament Projections. This site has Syracuse in as an 11 against St. Mary's College in the first round in Birmingham, Alabama. Syracuse comes in as one of MAG's last five teams in.
  • March Madness '08. Syracuse comes in as an 11 seed, but this blog is done by someone with the blogger name "Syracuse Basketball." Somehow I think this blog might be a little biased for Syracuse.
  • Basketball Predictions. S.U. is an eight seed in this bracket that projects where each team will finish by the end of the year. It seems like he has no grasp of what's going on in college basketball when it comes to bracketology. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have never seen a single comment on that site that agrees with him on something.
  • Bracket Predictions has Syracuse in as an 11 seed, but this is before the Orange's last two losses which means they probably won't be in the next bracket.
  • James Worthy at CBS2 has Syracuse in as a seven, but this bracket hasn't been updated in a few days. Look for Syracuse to drop by a lot in this bracket.

You have to wonder why anyone would have SU in their brackets? They either do not watch Cuse games, or they are afraid Jimmy B will find where they live and eat their children.

Yeah I agree. It seems like at best they could sneak in as 12 seed because of their strong schedule, but seven losses is hard to get past.
