Some interesting snippets from Palm:

Iowa can't jump Illinois
B12 is more likely to get 6 than B10 to get 8
Committee is looking hard at road wins (conf. tourney counts as "road")
Conference record doesn't matter (Sorry Hokfans)

Where is that info from? Twitter?

Iowa will get in.

$100 legit bet they won't. Take it?

Poor Missouri State. They got screwed that year.

Seems to me that Cleveland State got it worse...

Lunardi has us as an 11 seed with a 2nd round game against Oregon. The draw overall looks favorable for a Sweet 16 run if it holds. The 3 seed is New Mexico which is definitely winnable.

Palm was on Miller & Brinson Monday afternoon.

Vegas has us a 9. Wish they could pick the field as well as BCS and future playoff. Removes biases.

You realize that has Iowa at a 7, right?

No, Clark. That does not sound right. Do they bet more freely?

I don't give a **** about Iowa. You realize they beat us? All I care is that ISU is in. As I mentioned, I think Vegas gives the most unbiased ranking available. They have a much more sophisticated method of ranking teams than Jerry Palm or any other "expert".

Uni as the #68 team too

He had ISU at 10 last week, I think. Was possibility of dropping into last 4 in, but as soon as I saw he had both KSU and OSU at 4 seed, I knew that wasn't going to happen (spotted those before ISU's).

Overall, solid bracket. Colorado State a little high, Kentucky should still be in the field (I think experts are projecting UK out, crystal-balling it instead of snapshotting).

He's a lot less favorable on Big 10 pecking-order level. Doesn't have MSU as a 1 seed (I think Spartans are in top line this week), Wisconsin is at 5 (about right, I'd say 4), Minnesota at 8 (a little low).
