I think 1-4 down the stretch and hopefully the NIT.

CSU #4, UNM #7, UNLV #10 and SDSU #7

No these seeds are way off imo those are the 4 teams that will be in I agree with, plus w/e wins the MWC Tournament if someone other than those 4 win. But there is no way CSU gets the highest seed while UNM the conference leader and SDSU share the same seed value.

I would think we will see these types of seeds.

#4 UNM
#6 CSU
#10 UNLV
#12 SDSU

Those are more logical values based on how they have played conference play.

The point of the article is showing if Vegas just picked the top 68 teams based on how they see them with power ratings and and how they rank them. This is one of the criteria they use to make point spreads. They have CSU rated higher than what the rankings have them which I agree with. Basically it shows that Wyoming and Boise St. would both make the tournament if they used the top 68 teams by rankings but they have auto bids for smaller conferences so that knocks Wyoming and Boise St. out.

CSU 14
UNM 26
SDSU 27
UNLV 39
WYO 59
Boise St. 65

I understand what it is just don't agree with all of it.

Fair enough. It's more for people who gamble more than anything. It's showing that on a neutral court if CSU and New Mexico played CSU would be favored. So if they play in Vegas in the MWC tournament for instance as of right now CSU would probably be favored by 3 or 4 points.

CSU will be the favorite to win the MWC tournament when the odds come out for it in a couple of weeks unless something drastically changes and CSU tanks over the next couple of weeks. Whether they actually win it or not is another story.

Well they have to get a point spread from somewhere, If they went off the rankings only the reason to gamble and take chances would be seriously diminished.
