What the Seeds Mean to the Team Race

We're heading in to an NCAA tournament where Penn State is the prohibitive favorites and essentially a wire-to-wire candidate. After that, there are three likely contenders for the team title. Though Ohio State surprised everyone last season - usurping Iowa and Missouri - Penn State, Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech and Iowa have positioned themselves as first-tier threats for 2016. The schools that could be the 'Ohio States' of this year include NC State, Cornell, and those Buckeyes again.
