The brackets are released later tonight. No shit because it’s Selection Sunday baybay. While we are about 5 hours from the selection show starting, let’s take a look at where the Bearcats could potentially end up and who they could play. I’ll use some of the more popular brackets as well as some that I personally think are the best.
Cincinnati as a whole average out to a 9 seed on the Bracket Project. UC is as high as a 12 seed and as low as a 7. The 12 seed is only on one bracket so it really doesn’t hold a lot of water. Most brackets have UC as a 9. Yahoo doesn’t release a bracket, just the seeds, they have UC as a 9. So does Patrick Stevens.
Gulp. Cincinnati (6-3 vs T50) and LSU (12-5 vs. T100, 9-6 road/neutral) have some assets and some awful, awful losses.

But look around, and everyone at this stage has major issues. Cincy and LSU have, on occasion, done things. 9 seeds for both.

For the rest I’m going to list the Bearcats seed, opponent,location and high seed UC would play in round two followed by who put them there.
8 seed – Oklahoma State – West region – Wisconsin – Palm
8 seed – Ohio State – Midwest region – Kentucky – Lunardi
8 seed – Ohio State – South – Duke – Fox
8 seed – Ohio State – East – Villanova – SB Nation
9 seed – St John’s – West region – Wisconsin – Bracketville
9 seed – St John’s – Midwest – Kentucky – Andy Bottoms
There seem to be a bit of a consensus on opponents with Ohio State and St John’s showing up multiple times. Oregon and Iowa are forecast to be 8 seeds as well, with Davidson, NC State and Dayton projected as 9 seeds. There is so much variance and volatility with these teams 7-10 that it would be easy to believe UC ends up anywhere. We can brace ourselves for an 8-9 game though. That part seems like it has great odds at happening.
