COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It's almost that time. We have been tracking every team in the area this year and have created new metrics that have helped us monitor the resume of every squad. Without further adieu, we present the first edition of the Central District Tournament Seeding Guide for Division I. This guide will change throughout the week, as there are a handful of matchups on deck that will affect this weekend's seeds.
Stay tuned to a post-Friday update this week. There is a lot on the line so let's take a look at where we have every Division I team slotted in Central Ohio.
