I don't really see anything about WSU's resume that makes it better than ours, and it wouldn't be a surprise if they finished the season 3-5. For that matter, I don't see much comparison between our resume and any of the other last 4 byes. The only reason to have Florida ahead of us is the head to head win and Virginia doesn't have much to show for themselves. Even looking at his other 10 seeds (Arkansas, Purdue, and USC) I don't see much that shows they have better resume's than us either.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a bit of a hold over waiting for us to prove it one more time before he jumps us up.
A win on Wednesday @Butler would surely jump us up ahead of them.

I'm sick of "little Xavier" sneaking up on people.
X should be expected in the tourney every year.
Nobody says, "boy! Gonzaga looks surprisingly good this year!" or "hey that Arizona team is good!"
High expectations demand results.

i'm not saying Lunardi is right, but as of today, he's still got Xavier in the first four byes category. So IF he's right, I'd say we're still on relatively shaky ground. One win this week would go a long way towards firmer footing!
He still has UC in (in Dayton). Wichita State's rally from 24 down at SMU yesterday has so far only earned them a trip to Dayton according to Lunardi.
