2) Georgia St vs. 7/10) Louisiana-Monroe/South Alabama
The stakes:
CRPI 21, and only one team sub-120 RPI. Louisiana ran away with the conference but has absolutely zero substance behind their 60 RPI. So their seed could fluctuate a bit. Raw RPI numbers might suggest a 13. Conference ranking suggests 14 maybe? It's tough to know what the committee will do here. This much is certain though: anyone else is in direct path of the 16 line, and maybe even Dayton if it's a 5 seed or below.
The two Georgias and UTA are in line for CBI/CIT bids if they want them.
