Weekly Seed Report

We're ready to turn our findings over to the real selection committee, but several caveats go along with our recommendations. Duke retains the No. 1 seed in the East by virtue of its win on Sunday over North Carolina, but the Blue Devils could lose it with an early exit in the ACC tournament or a loss to the Tar Heels in the final. Michigan State gets the nod over Illinois as the No. 1 in the Midwest, pending the outcome of the Big Ten tournament Red-hot Florida moves into the top spot in the South but must at least make the SEC tournament final to hold on to that seed. Big 12 regular-season champion Iowa State is in position to claim a No. 1 should any of the top seeds falter.
