NOTES:
  • The Seed List is no longer "true."  Some teams have been moved up/down to match bracketing principles.
  • Teams in bold are automatic qualifiers.
OPINION:
  • The #1 seeds are locked.
  • I believe that head-to-head match-ups and common opponents will dictate the bubble:
    • Oklahoma beat USC
    • USC beat MTSU
    • St. Bonaventure beat Syracuse
  • The RPI will keep Notre Dame and Oklahoma St. OUT.
