COLUMBUS, Ohio -- With the Central District Tournament Draw coming up on Sunday, 270 Hoops returns with its annual Central District Seeding Guide. Ranking all 47 teams in Division I, 270 Hoops aims to help coaches with the seeding process.
We considered quality wins, conference quality, quality of loss, head-to-head results (if possible) and overall talent level of each team to seed the area. While some teams may have better records than teams ranked ahead of them, the previous factors all went into the seeding process.
Take a look at the 270 Hoops Division I Seeding Guide below.
