NOTES:
- Until conference tournament play, Michigan St. can only be moved by other teams.
- No teams were flexed up/down seed lines.
OPINION:
- I still don't buy into the OUT theory for UCLA. Considering the loss of starters and Q1 wins (Kentucky, Arizona), they should be in the field.
- Florida St. and NC State have become very similar. I think the committee will favor FSU by recent AP ranking.
- Villanova's loss on Saturday simply closed the gap on the 1-line. The season sweep over Xavier maintains the second spot.
