Part of this is fun because we can maybe project where some of these teams might be playing. I'm too lazy to look that information up, of course.

Other than that, we've got 2 SEC teams with high seeds and neither of them are named Kentucky. It's an interesting day indeed.

So if Arkansas makes the tourney, they’ll be in the West so they can lose to UNC in the round of 32 as usual.

Tell me why a 6 or 7 loss North Carolina is in the top 12? They shouldn't even be in the top 16.

Same reason TN is, I assume: strength of schedule. We've lost 6 games: UNC, Villanova, Auburn, Arkansas, Alabama, and Missouri; not a bad loss in them worst was to Arkansas at 39 RPI.

UNC losses: Michigan State, Wofford, Florida St, Virginia, Virginia tech, NC State, Clemson

Of those, Michigan State, Virginia, and Clemson are all solid, and the only 100+ RPI loss is to Wofford.
