I posted this on another thread last week: There are eight contenders for #1 seed in five different conferences (Duke, UNC, Mich. State, Ohio State, Mizzou, Kansas, Syracuse and Kentucky). Assuming no one has a meltdown in the regular season (less likely now than a week ago), the candidates for #1 seeds will include Syracuse and Kentucky (whether they win their conference tournaments) and the tournament winners of the Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC, provided they are one of the top two contenders. With no upsets, one of the teams will have to settle for being the top-ranked #2 seed, but I would be surprised if there weren't an upset.
