Weekly Seed Report

With March not far off, SI's selection committee is back to pick the top four seeds (with their records as of Sunday) in each region as if the NCAA tournament were starting this week. Keep in mind, though, that under new rules, the NCAA will try to place the top seeds close to home in rounds 1 and 2. For example, our fourth seed in the East, Gonzaga, could play two games in Sacramento before advancing to Syracuse (the East's regional site) if it wins both. Similarly, Oklahoma could be No. 1 in the West and open in Dallas (170 miles from campus) before heading to San Jose (1,370 miles away) for the West Regional if it advances. It's all designed to cut down travel for the top four seeds and their fans.
