Unless the committee is going full all in on the predictive metrics I think Saint Mary's in either last 4 in or first 4 out. No way they are anywhere near the 7 seed.
Remember selection and seeding are different processes. I could see St Mary's being, say, the 37th team voted into the field, but once they start to seed, the predictive metrics will cause their seed to climb well above the 37th spot on the S-Curve.
I still don't see it but that's just me.
