Each week until Selection Sunday on March 17, college basketball writer SCOTT RICHEY will project his top four seeds for each region of the NCAA tournament. This week? Still a departure from the top 16 teams the NCAA released, but they're probably wrong:
Midwest
1. Kentucky
2. Michigan
3. Kansas
4. Virginia Tech
Yes, the Hokies lost a home game Monday, but it was to No. 3 Virginia. Not exactly a bad loss. Head-scratching losses do exist on Virginia Tech's résumé — losses at Penn State and Clemson, for example — but Buzz Williams has a Sweet 16-caliber team behind junior guard and scoring leader Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
