Kentucky has jumped Louisville in the latest bracketology from CBS Sports.
Jerry Palm now has the Wildcats as a 2-seed and Louisville has dropped to a 3-seed after the Cardinals loss at Wake Forest last night.
Here’s an excerpt about his reasoning:
Louisville lost at Wake Forest on Wednesday night, essentially ending any hope the Cardinals had of becoming a No. 1 seed. There is too much competition at the top of the bracket, especially with three teams from the Pac-12 in top-line range, for a seven-loss team — even one from the ACC — to get up there.
The Cardinals dropped down to a No. 3 seed and were replaced on the second line by Kentucky. I can hear the Louisville fans screaming already: “BUT WE BEAT KENTUCKY!!!” Yes, you did, but teams are judged on their entire seasons, not just one game, and right now, Kentucky has a better tournament résumé despite the head-to-head result.
