This charming fellow has 5 Valley teams in
3 seeded SIU
7 seeded Creighton
10 seeded Missouri State
15 seeded WSU
16 seeded BU

I'm not sure what he's smoking, but I'd like some and I'd like him to slip it in the selection committee's prune juice.

Impossible. The low tournament winners with automatic bids always garner the 14 - 16 seeds. If WSU and/or BU get in, they will have at least a 13 seed.

Last year's 13 seeds:

Iona, MAAC tournament champ
Pacific, Big West champ
BU, at-large
Air Force, at-large

So BU was one of the final two that made the field as an at-large.

I doubt if we get in we'd be a 16 seed.

That's what I said above. The worst seed an at-large will get is a 13. The seeds 14 - 16 are "reserved" for "low-level" tournament champs.

You need to re-read his article...He constructed his bracket as if no automatic bids were to be given to the lower conferences. It was just a hypothetical "here would be my bracket if the NCAA Tourney just took the top 64 teams..."
