Tennessee is dropping like a rock. It's looking like whichever team ends up with the higher seed (UNC or Tennessee) will end up in Greensboro with Duke.
ahead either help higher however ninth polls teams
They are going to need to get higher in the polls than ninth or 10th, however that happens. Either teams ahead of them need to lose, or the pollsters would need to help them out.
chance hard harder higher memphis might move moving pass past unless
They won't get much higher unless Memphis loses. It's hard to move up when you're already high. I don't see them moving past Duke, Connecticut or Villanova. They might have a chance to pass Memphis. It's harder to move at the end of the season.

Vanderbilt's got two Top-25 RPI wins, over Old Dominion and Western Kentucky. That's more than a lot of teams. But Arkansas is a bad loss. All the teams that have beaten Vanderbilt are pretty good except Arkansas.

USC is in the middle of a lull in the schedule. Texas is about to hit a lull.

There's just a lot of mediocrity out there. It's going to be real tough year for the committee.
guy hurt idaho rest ruin takes votes voting whether
Votes like that hurt the credibility. Whether it's carelessness or ignorance, you can't have votes for Idaho. It only takes one guy voting for Idaho to ruin it for the rest of the 114.
I'd be surprised. That's not typically what happens.
