In trying to divine how the committee is rating teams, I note the following RPI rated teams (as of early this morning) are among the 16 first round hosts.

#1-11: Vandy, UCLA, UGa, MissSt, E.Car, Arkansas, Ga Tech, Ok St, WVU, Louisville, Stanford
not #12 (Tennesee)
#13-14: Texas Tech, N. Car.
not #15-18 (Texas AM, Auburn, NC State, Miami)
#19 LSU
not #20 (UC Santa Barbara)
#21 Oregon State
not #21-22 (Creighton)
#23 Mississippi

That's 6 SEC teams, 3 ACC, 3 Pac 12, 3 Big 12, 1 AAC.
