NCAA: Team Tiers
(4) The Big 4-All have only one loss.-Kansas, Syracuse, Villanova, Kentucky
(7) Next Level Contenders-West Virginia, Purdue, Georgetown, Kansas St., Texas, Michigan St., Duke
(6) Underrated/Under The Radar-BYU, Ohio St., New Mexico, Temple, Wisconsin, Georgia Tech
(3) Who's #2 In The SEC?-Tennessee (16-4, 4-2), Vandy (16-4, 5-1), Ole Miss (16-5, 4-2)
(6) Ranked/High RPI Mid Majors-Gonzaga (#13-coaches), Butler (#15-coaches), No. Iowa (#22-coaches), Cornell (#25-coaches), Rhode Island (RPI-11), Xavier (RPI-22)
(6) The Jury Is Still Out-
Pittsburgh (lost 3 of 4 after beating Syracuse, Cincinnati and UConn all on the road)
Wake Forest (great wins @Gonzaga, Richmond and Xavier, but have been blown out on the road by 20 to Duke and by 19 to Georgia Tech)
Clemson (lost 3 of 4 and have a RPI-36)
UAB (good record, 18-3 and good RPI-27, but need to win at Memphis this week to prove they are the best team in C-USA)
FSU (solid RPI-29, plus they swept Georgia Tech but still have some work to do)
UNLV (16-4, RPI-41, I like them, but they really need to beat BYU at home on Saturday)
(4) Very Good 2nd Tier Big 12 Teams-Baylor, OK St., Texas A&M, Mizzou
(3) The Atlantic 10 Bubble List-Richmond (16-6, RPI-35), Dayton (15-6, RPI-38), Charlotte (16-5, RPI-43)
(4) Good on the Computer, Not So Good In Real Life-
California (RPI-24, 14-7 with 3 losses in the sorry PAC 10)
St. Mary's (RPI-33, 18-3 but lacks a win over any really good team0
Texas Tech (RPI-39, 14-7 and 2-5 in the Big 12)
San Diego St. (RPI-42, 13-6 but 2-5 vs. RPI top 100 teams)
(5) How the mighty have fallen (All of these teams were #1 or #2 seeds last year)-
Louisville, UConn, UNC, Memphis, Oklahoma
(7) Inconsistent Major Conference Bubble Teams-Maryland, Florida, Northwestern, Minnesota, S. Carolina, Mississippi St., Illinois
(7) They better win their conference tournament to feel safe-Siena, Wichita St., Utah St., Tulsa, UTEP, Nevada, Kent
(6) Deep Big East Bubble-Cincinnati, USF, Seton Hall, Marquette, Notre Dame, St. John's
(4) Is the Colonial a one-bid league, or do they get 2?-Old Dominion, William & Mary, Northeastern, VCU
(3) Deep Deep ACC Bubble-Virginia Tech, Miami, Virginia
(5) The PAC 10 is terrible (chances are only one or none of these teams ends up making the dance)-
Arizona, Washington, Arizona St., Washington St., USC
NOTE: The 2 Arizona schools play at the 2 Washington schools this week.
There you have it 80 teams who have some shot of making the tournament as an at-large. We've got 5 more weeks of the regular season in most conferences so that means about 10 more games for each team. A LOT can happen in that period of time.
