LAST 5 IN:

West Virginia(65): Gets nod over Syracuse because of head-to-head win
Mississippi(64): Top 50 wins gets them in, barely
Illinois State(63): Can they hang on? Got in by default
New Mexico(62.5): You wonder if the committee will have sympathy for them if they lose at UNLV again
Texas A&M(62.5): In a dangerous position.

LAST 4 OUT

Arizona(66): If I am the only ones with the stones to deny Arizona, so be it. They will have only beaten Oregon State the last 3 weeks heading into Selection Sunday.
Syracuse(67): Too little, too late
Temple(68): I have them in the A-10 final, which just won't be enough
Oregon(69): Again, too little too late

NEXT 4 OUT

VCU(70): No good wins
UAB(71): See VCU
Saint Joseph's(72): I have them out in the A-10 semis, but losing to Dayton
Ohio State(73): See Oregon
