Here is the latest:
Currently:
^ AP 14
 Coaches 17
^ Sagarin 14
^ Bracketology: 4 seed (vs. Wichita State and then the Princeton/Miami winner.)
v RPI 19
While this looks promising, I am disappointed that our RPI is still lagging well below where it needs to be. If we had defeated Oregon State instead of C.al in the title game I think we would have moved up. As it stands, the tournament moved us from 20 to 19 in RPI. That just seems incredible that winning three hard fought games, including one over ASU, should have made so little difference to RPI.
Arizona State falls to 16 and Oregon state to 18. C.al is at 23 and Washington at 31.

By the way, did you notice that Charlie Creme is unwilling to give Princeton a 4 seed despite its undefeated record and that instead he sends them to play us if we both get to the second round? This conjures up memories of bracket seeders sending Harvard to face Stanford because the match up seemed irresistible. However, Princeton would be a five seed, not a 16, and we are a 4, not a 1.
