Brad-ketology: 2024 Final NCAA and NIT Seed List

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 earned automatic bids to this year’s NCAA tournament by virtue of winning their respective conference tournament or NIT tournament by virtue of being one of the top two teams in a power conference not to earn an NCAA bid (according to the NET). Feel free to comment or debate.
