I believe you're in a similar circumstance to BYU. You're seeding will improve after you demonstrate you can win in the Big Dance. We're both after the Gonzaga model. They started by getting upsets in the NCAA Tournament and then built on that. Go get'em USU
Interesting to see how different the computer rankings are than selection committee's opinions.
Rank, Name, Record, (W,L), Ranking Score
19 Marquette 23 8 748
30 Brigham Young 24 6 735
40 Utah 21 9 722
43 Utah St. 27 4 720
The committee probably got the Marquette/USU seeds correct but flipped the Utah and BYU ranks *and* seeded those two schools too high in general - by the computer USU and Utah are basically tied.
The 28 score (rank) difference between USU and Marquette is very tight (a 100 point difference is the easy prediction difference). Given Boise is almost a home court for the Aggies, and that Marquette lost a great player, I think we stand a very good chance of advancing to the second round.

Great draw, great location, go Aggies!!!
Besides an 8 vs 9 game gives you the #1 seed next round, which may be jumping ahead but I think it is a great draw for us.
GO AGS!!!
Way to work your way back into the rankings Ags.
Go Aggies.
Even the Big Sky (Weber) got a second team playing another game!
