Last Four In: McNeese State, Western Kentucky, UTSA, NC State
First Four Out: Xavier, Miami (FL), Cal Poly, USC
There is still a lot up in the air at this point in the season. Within the next two weeks we should have a better picture of what direction teams are trending in for the NCAA Tournament. Texas A&M is the biggest disappointment of the season by far. Florida is another team that is uncharacteristically down this season to begin SEC play. The bubble is very spread out at this point, and I expect it to remain that way for the next couple of weeks. The RPI is not reliable at this point in my opinion and we should begin the switch to the NET for baseball and softball just as basketball has done in recent years.
