3/8 S-CURVE

The only change is yanking Omaha out and putting South Dakota St in.  UC-Irvine moves from a 16 to a 15, South Dakota St enters on the 16 line.

Well one more change.  St Mary's loses a few spots but keeps its 6 seed.  I expect it to drop to a 7 or even 8 by the end of the week.  Thing is, they need quality wins, and an extra loss on that front is more harmful than you think.

The 1 line:  Kansas (28-3), Villanova (28-3), Gonzaga (32-1), North Carolina (25-6)
The 2 line:  Oregon (26-4), Louisville (24-7), Baylor (24-6), Kentucky (26-5)

The 5 line:  Virginia (21-9), Notre Dame (23-8), Cincinnati (26-4), Minnesota (23-8)
The 6 line:  SMU (27-4), Creighton (22-8), Maryland (23-7), St Mary's (28-4)
The 7 line:  Iowa St (20-10), South Carolina (21-9), Wisconsin (23-8), Oklahoma St (19-11)
The 8 line:  Miami (20-10), Northwestern (21-9), Seton Hall (20-10), Virginia Tech (21-9)

The 12 line:  USC (23-8), Kansas St (19-12), Nevada (25-6), UNC-Wilmington (27-5), Texas-Arlington (22-7)
The 13 line:  Vermont (27-5), Akron (23-7), Princeton (20-6), East Tennessee St (25-7)
The 14 line:  Bucknell (25-8), Winthrop (24-6), Cal St-Bakersfield (18-8), Iona (22-12)
The 15 line:  FGCU (23-7), Northern Kentucky (22-10), Texas Southern (21-11), UC-Irvine (17-13)
The 16 line:  Jacksonville St (18-14), Mount St Mary's (19-15), South Dakota St (16-16), New Orleans (15-11), North Dakota (16-9), North Carolina Central (19-8)

Syracuse now with a confounding resume. Will they set a new record current RPI is 85. They are 2-11 away from home. 6-8 vs top 50 all home wins. 18-14 overall. 10-8 in the tough ACC. Joey brackets said they are still in with a loss today. How much does the RPI matter anymore ? Non conf SOS of near 200. 3 bad losses.

Syracuse is also 12-13 vs RPI top 200.
