I think we will be going between 3 and 4 all year because we are very close to the PAC-12. Creighton's win over Cal put the Big East over the Pac-12 only slightly. Either way, 3rd or 4th is not bad for the Big East. I think the biggest surprise is the "almighty" ACC which many thought would be the best conference. If you look at their resumes, you only see 5 bids out of 14 teams.

5? 6 teams in the Ken Pom top 26- Syracuse, Pitt, Duke, UNC, UVA, and FSU. Only UVA outside top 50 RPI right now. And their schedule has them projected 11-7 in conference play so they should be safely in. That's the thing with a 15 team conference- you will always get 1-2 bids you shouldn't get because of schedules. 9 teams right now with 3 or fewer losses.

SMU's projected RPI right now is 58. If they got 1 more win than projected, they're a top 50 RPI team. Numbers I did earlier this week were all pretty much predicated on # to get to 20.
