It’s that time of year when interest begins to peak for the various NCAA Tournament projections out there. One of the most followed and best of the pack belongs to master “Bracketologist” Joe Lunardi of ESPN.
He’s been doing his things for years, and generally comes out as accurate as anyone. Of note though, he doesn’t project what’s going to happen, but rather, constructs the landscape as it would be today. He’s already released several versions of his latest projections this year, and now he is out with a brand new one.
So where is Ohio State after a big road win up in Ann Arbor? The good news is that the Buckeyes have won three in a row and have climbed. The not so great news is that they haven’t climbed that far according to Lunardi. OSU is now up to a No. 7 seed which is up two seed lines from last week. That means progress of course, but far from a safe spot should the Buckeyes hit some choppy waters again.
But it makes sense. There are a lot of quad one wins there against quality competition early, but there are also a lack of big-time wins included with an under .500 conference record.
You can get the rest of his projection that was dropped Friday by clicking on the below tweet. But, for spoilers, he has Ohio State in the West Region as the No. 7 seed, going up to Cleveland to play against No. 10 seed Rhode Island.
This will all change as quickly as they are put together, so continue to stay with us as we track where Ohio State is trending with each week.
