On Tuesday, Ohio State took its place on this projection’s No. 2 seed line. But thanks to the combination of the Buckeyes’ Thursday win at Iowa (who remains on the two line) and midweek losses by former No. 1 seed Villanova and a pair of twos in Texas (to Baylor) and Houston (to East Carolina), Chris Holtmann’s team is now the fourth No. 1 seed. Gonzaga, a Baylor squad that’s had to postpone its next two contests, and a Michigan team that’s still in an enforced pause all currently rank ahead of Ohio State. And it’s that Big Ten rivalry that looks likely to determine who holds the third and fourth No.
