Concentrate on three and then see if there is a fourth. Creighton has one Top 50 win (for now) vs. Cal. They need to beat either Villanova and/or Xavier to get locked in the NCAA. If Georgetown creeps up, they would be another target for the Blue Jays. So Villanova is 1, Creighton 2, X maybe 3 and then the questions start at 4. But still early.

Georgetown is projected in the RPI top 50 (a little under a 2 in 3 chance of finishing there), so they will most likely be a top 50 win for whoever beats them...unless too many teams beat them. As for tournament chances, Creighton is highly probable for the tournament, Xavier is fairly probable at this point (by no means a lock) and Georgetown is the "maybe" team (a little better than 50-50, I'd say). Questions start at #5, because there most likely won't be a fifth team, short of the auto-bid.
