A quick look at the schedule for the Ohio State basketball team reminds us all how quickly things can sneak up on you. We are less than three weeks away the month of March, and you know what that means. Madness anyone?
The reality is that the Buckeyes have just eight regular-season games left. And while they have done enough to be included in most NCAA Tournament bracket projections to date, that could change with more performances like we saw at Wisconsin Sunday.
But still, despite the new year tripping this team up, it’s still in pretty good shape. In fact, USA TODAY just released its latest projections and it has Ohio State all the way up to a No. 6 seed. That’s a wee-bit higher than most of the other “bracketologists” have OSU, but it goes to show you how much some of the quality wins earlier in the year have helped the Buckeyes’ cause.
So who does USA TODAY have as No. 1 seeds? Four teams that a lot of others have — Baylor, Kansas, Gonzaga, and San Diego State.
The ACC is down, but Louisville or Duke could find their way to a No. 1 seed. Our latest bracket projection. https://t.co/9rFomFDG6g

But back to Ohio State. The USAT piece has the Buckeyes in the South playing in Tampa against Arizona State. That’s all going to change as we go along here, but I have a feeling a lot of OSU fans would love to go to sunny Florida in March.
