check out Chris Henderson on X---he should have it. I've seriously been afraid to look and have basically written off this year. He may be more positive about our chances than the committee as we were under 500 in the league and that's never good for trying to make the tourney. Also, while we had a pretty high RPI for most of the year, we had almost no quality wins.

18. Georgia Southern
19. Samford
To note, another model has LSU out and Arizona State in. My gut would go with LSU and Arizona State in with SMU and UConn out. Anyone above the line of uncertainty missing out would be a big surprise to me, as would anybody below the second line of uncertainty getting in.
