I will send out final brackets in a few minutes, but here is the final seed list for both my NCAA and NIT Bracket Projections. The teams below are displayed below on an S-curve, so they are ranked from left to right within each seeding line. Teams in bold have already earned automatic bids to this year’s NCAA or NIT tournament by virtue of either winning their respective conference tournaments (NCAA auto bids) or conference regular season (NIT auto bids). Feel free to comment or debate.
