2017 NCAA bracket predictions: Nevada looking like a 12 seed

The Nevada Wolf Pack will hear their name called later today when the bracket is revealed, but where will they end up?

Nevada has a very respectable RPI at 29 but their strength of schedule is 111 and they have played just one game against a top-50 team and that was their season-opening loss against St. Mary’s.

Top-50 wins are huge in the selection committee and the lack of those are not really the Wolf Pack’s fault but it will be held against them — as it is for every other non-power team — which is why if they get higher than a 12 seed it will be shocking.
