teams/resumes for the tournaments spots this year than they were last year. Personally, I think if they make it to the conference championship game and lose that they'll probably end up with a 10 seed or possibly an 11 but will be able to avoid the 1st round bye. I also don't think there resume is better this year. There best win this year is better than last year, and they don't have quite as many bad losses. However, last year's team had a greater number of top 50 and top 100 wins and had several top 100 wins on the road (compared to only 1 for this years team).
