Western Kentucky’s win over No. 25 Old Dominion on Saturday has at least one bracketologist predicting a Conference USA championship for the Tops.

CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm projects WKU as a No. 13 seed in his latest predicted bracket released Monday. Palm has the Hilltoppers facing fourth-seeded Seton Hall in Columbus, Ohio, in the second round.

WKU (10-5 overall, 3-0 C-USA) is one of two Conference USA teams in Palm’s bracket. He has Old Dominion (13-2, 2-1) as a No. 7 seed, likely suggesting that the Monarchs would still be in line for an at-large bid.

The Tops’ resume at the moment doesn’t suggest an at-large opportunity, so it’s safe to say Palm reads the win over ODU as making WKU a front-runner for the C-USA title.
