george mean plus saint team washington wins
The regular-season championship is going to mean something. Say Temple, Saint Joseph's or Xavier wins it, then that team plus George Washington could get in.
kindness remains seen skeptical start teams
I'm kind of skeptical of that. They may not have the restriction, but it remains to be seen how many under-.500 teams start to show up in the tournament.
battle closer number three
The battle for number three is a lot closer than the battle for number two right now.
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.
decent few help next opponent playing surprise texas week
The thing is, Texas is playing a decent opponent this week (No. 24 Colorado), and that will probably help Texas, at least this week. It would not surprise me if Texas fluctuates over the next few weeks.
against anybody arizona bracket league might prospects seed tournament worth
Arizona in my bracket is a 10 seed because they haven't done anything against anybody who's worth a darn. Arizona might be a 16 RPI, but their tournament prospects aren't too good. Fortunately for them, their league stinks.
games quite worked
It worked out pretty well. We're going to get one of the most anticipated games in quite a while.
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.
arkansas bad beaten dominion except good teams western
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.
ahead cal last ohio permanent southern state
Even if Ohio State is ahead this week, it's no more permanent than Southern Cal being ahead last week.
hit lull middle texas usc
USC is in the middle of a lull in the schedule. Texas is about to hit a lull.
mediocrity tough year
There's just a lot of mediocrity out there. It's going to be real tough year for the committee.
oklahoma usc
It would have been better for USC if Oklahoma had put up more of a fight.
poll seen understand
I've seen they were in the poll and couldn't understand why. They haven't done anything special.
