NOTES:

- Seeds 12-16 are placeholders by projected conference winner, RPI, and Team Rank.
OPINION:
- Xavier and Auburn are very close. Despite a blowout loss to Villanova, quality wins favor XU to secure the final #1 seed.
- Today, Kansas St. and Virginia Tech are the same evaluation. Both are OUT.
- Michigan St. continues to be favored by the BPI. With only one quality win (UNC), they are placed on the 5 line.
