1/15 S-CURVE

Some modest updated.  Quick hits:
- As you can tell, the 3 line has a theme - brand names who I think will be slightly overseeded by the committee
- I'm not quite as down on MSU as others, but a trip to the 4 line is warranted for now
- 3 Big 12 teams on the 2 line.  I feel like 3 teams from there are going to be among the top 8 seeds at this point
- Once you get to about the 7 line, things get ugly quick.  The bubble is very thin

The 1 line:  Villanova, Virginia, Duke, Purdue
The 2 line:  Oklahoma, Xavier, Texas Tech, West Virginia
The 3 line:  Kansas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Wichita St
The 4 line:  Michigan St, Arizona, Arizona St, Clemson
The 5 line:  Auburn, Seton Hall, Cincinnati, Tennessee
The 6 line:  Gonzaga, Ohio St, TCU, Miami
The 7 line:  Rhode Island, Creighton, Nevada, Florida
The 8 line:  Louisville, Florida St, Butler, Michigan
The 9 line:  Texas, Notre Dame, Arkansas, Missouri
The 10 line:  St Mary's, Marquette, Texas A&M, Boise St
The 11 line:  UCLA, Syracuse, Maryland, Houston, St Bonaventure, Providence
The 12 line:  New Mexico St, Middle Tennessee, Buffalo, William & Mary
