Comparison of NET versus AP poll versus Bracketology:
Stanford: NET = 1; AP = 2; 1-seed--Seeding agrees with NET and AP
UCLA: 8; 10; 3-seed--Seeding agrees with AP
Oregon: 10; 23; 6-seed--Seeding agrees with AP
Arizona: 15; 11; 3-seed---Seeding agrees with AP
Oregon State: 36; 28 (receiving votes); 9-seed--seeding agrees with NET
WSU: 44; > 34 (did not receive votes); 10-seed--inconclusive
I know this is an academic exercise, but it's interesting that Bracketology seems to follow AP voters more than NET.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
