    Wichita State/Valpo would suck for a 2nd round matchup. I'd take any of the other projected 7s and 10s over those two (other than Butler, of course).

    Also interesting that Clemson is in the first four out category after beating Louisville, Duke and Miami in consecutive outings. Imagine where they were before that stretch!

    Clemson had bad losses to UMass and Minnesota early in the year - that's why they're a bubble team even with a slate of impressive ACC wins.

    Naturally, Cal and their 1-6 road record merit a 9 seed.

    Heard this second hand since I'm not an ESPN Insider...

    On X's Championship chances, Lunardi said: "I'd exclude X, whom I greatly admire but view as too much of an overachiever to win six games in the tournament."

    IMO, that's great bulletin board material for March. Thanks Joe!

    Lunardi is an ESPN tool. I believe that he is part of the ESPN team that attempts to "recreate" the RPI numbers, but somehow generally gets numbers lower that the real ones for teams in the Big East and higher than the real ones for teams in the "Power 5" and the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC (which ESPN televises).
    Xavier always goes to the NCAA tournament...Projecting anything less than that this season feels like folly--Eamonn Brennan, ESPN (Summer Shootaround, 2012)

    Plus he's had to witness the substantial separation in program success between St. Joe's and Xavier.
