America East and Colonial have it right

Butler might be the most overrated team in the country. VCU's defense makes them dangerous. No disagreement there.

UConn would be higher than an 8 seed? If you say so. Lunardi had them as a 10 last night. Does he miss by 3 seed lines often?

He missed last year. One factor I didn't take into account is all the injuries. This team, without the injuries, is better than an 8/9 based on RPI on how the season played out (i.e. solid wins, no bad losses).

What did he miss last year. RPI is was overblown. The committee is no slave to RPI. They were probably a 7 before the last two losses. It's a good team but there are teams like NCSU who beat them on a neutral court who are in the same boat. Somewhere from 6-10 depending on how they close.
