Guess they let Wake off the hook for the bad finish. I'm OK with that. Not sure I love the Florida 10 seed. I can buy them getting in but ahead of 5-6 bubble teams seems wrong. They have one good win since November.

I got 64 out of 65. Swap Florida for Mississippi State. I have no problem with that selection by the committee whatsoever, but again I think Mississippi State deserved it head to head against Florida based on the win just this week.

I don't think there's any way in hell Florida deserved a 10, but their overall resume beats Mississippi State's by a good margin, which was enough to offset the head-to-head loss on Friday.
