Some of these predictions make no sense to me. As an example, Vermont is a 13 seed to Louisiana's 12 seed. While Louisiana has a better BPI by two spots, Vermont has a better RPI by 4 spots. However, Vermont has a much better strength of schedule and a better record than does Louisiana against top 150 competition. Looking at it objectively, Vermont, at last right now, should be a higher seed than Louisiana. Maybe the person doing the prediction believes that Louisiana's RPI will be better with a tournament win than will Vermont, But, I don't see it.
