First committee meeting, 2-13:

Tonight, we got down to serious business with our first round of preliminary ballots to gauge which teams, as of now, are certain to get in the NCAA Tournament field. The following teams received the necessary votes to be on the at large board.

Connecticut, Duke, Florida, GW, Georgetown, Gonzaga, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, LSU, Memphis, Mich. State, NC State, North Carolina, Northern Iowa, Ohio State, Pitt, Tennesee, Texas, UCLA, Villanova, West Virginia and Wisconsin all were unanimous picks.

Boston College, Oklahoma and Wichita State also had enough votes to be on this board.

The following teams also received votes:
Creighton, Michigan and Washington all had 5 votes
Indiana had 4 votes
Kentucky and Marquette had 3 votes
Arizona, Bucknell, Cal, Colorado, Seton Hall and Southern Illinois had 2 votes
Alabama, Cincinnati and Syracuse had 1 vote each

My personal ballot was as follows:
Connecticut
Duke
Florida
Georgetown
George Washington
Gonzaga
Illinois
Iowa
Kansas
LSU
Memphis
Michigan State
North Carolina
North Carolina State
Northern Iowa
Ohio State
Pittsburgh
Tennessee
Texas
UCLA
Villanova
West Virginia
Wisconsin

Since this ballot, which is strictly preliminary and has not no bearing on final at large board, is only teams who you feel are for sure in field, I kept mine to a smaller number of 23.

At the end of night, after discussing ballots, we had the following teams as the 1-4 seeds.
Duke, UConn, Memphis and Texas were unanimous 1 seeds
Villanova, Pitt, Gonzaga and Ohio State, just over Tennessee were on the 2 line.
Tennessee, West Virginia, UCLA and Iowa as 3 seeds, with Iowa getting the last 3 over Florida
Florida, Illinois, Michigan State and GW, which got the slight nod, over UNC and Georgetown as 4 seeds.
