Selection Sunday!

Countdown to the selection show.  I reluctantly moved Arizona up to the 2 line after back to back wins over UCLA and Oregon.  At this point I can't see Oregon any better than a 4 seed with only 4 wins against RPI top 50 and the #35 SoS (as compared to Butler with 10 wins against RPI top 50 and the #9 SoS, Florida with 6 wins against RPI top 50 and the #7 SoS and Florida St. with 11 wins against RPI top 50 and the #16 SoS).

Bubble talk

Not much debate on the bubble.  Comes down to Syracuse or USC for the last at large bid.  Syracuse has an RPI of 84, SoS of 58, 6-8 record against RPI top 50, 8 wins against RPI top 100 and #51 ranking by KenPom.  USC has an RPI of 41, SoS of 73, 2-6 record against RPI top 50, 6 wins against RPI top 100 and #60 ranking by KenPom.
