Great news... I don't know about "...and rising" though. I think that #2 is the highest we can get. It is amazing to think of LSU as a 2 seed. What an amazing season.
Tigerkid is probably just referring to the red up arrow by LSU. Which of course just indicates that LSU moved up in projected seeding from last week.
No, because most of those teams are playing their best basketball of the year right now. Teams like Kansas, UNC, Iowa, Zona, Bama Even the teams not playing good have tons of talent. Cincinatti, Indiana, and Syracuse are the 10-12 seeds.
