Here's how we're looking today before this weekend's last BE games and before the BET.
31. Villanova 17-13 (10-9 BE)
Power - #26, Resume - #61
Non-Conf SoS - #78
Away/Neutral: 7-9
Q1: 4-8 (1A 2-5), N-North Carolina, @-Creighton, N-Texas Tech, @-Providence
Q2: 6-2
Top 2: 10-10
Q3+Q4 losses: 3, H-St. Joe's, N-Drexel, @-Penn
Wins Under Consideration: 6-7 (11-6 rest)
BracketMatrix - 10 seed (#40)
Remaining schedule - H-Creighton
Thoughts: Improved their metrics by a couple spots mostly with their win at Providence. Up 8 spots in a week in Bracket Matrix, which is wild for a 1-1 week since my last update. Fairly safely in according to that, but potentially 15 losses on Selection Sunday still makes me nervous for them. Tough game left, but at least at home. Win and they're in. Lose and they may need to win quarters game (likely against Marquette or Seton Hall)
37. St. John's 18-12 (10-9 BE)
Power - #29, Resume - #57
Non-Conf SoS - #182
Away/Neutral: 7-8
Q1: 4-9 (1A 2-6), H-Creighton, @-Villanova @-Butler, N-Utah
Q2: 5-2
Top 2: 9-11
Q3+Q4 losses: 1, H-Michigan
Wins Under Consideration: 5-9 (12-3 non)
BracketMatrix - 11 seed, Last four in (#43)
Remaining schedule - H-GTown
Thoughts: Torvik loves St. John's, but KPI hates them. Unfortunately Torvik isn't on the committee teamsheet but KPI is. Similar to Villanova in terms of gap between predictive metrics and resume metrics. St. John's need to keep rooting for Villanova considering their sweep. Likely 5 seed in BET with matchup against Seton Hall or Marquette, both would be winnable games that would likely shore up a bid.
61. Providence 19-11 (10-9 BE)
Power - #59, Resume - #59
Non-Conf SoS - #252
Away/Neutral: 5-8
Q1: 5-8 (2-5), H-Marquette, H-Creighton, H-Wisconsin, @-Seton Hall, @-Xavier
Q2: 2-3
Top 2: 7-11
Q3+Q4 losses: 0
Wins Under Consideration: 5-8 (13-2 non)
BracketMatrix - First four out (#47)
Remaining schedule - H-UConn
Thoughts: Dropped 5 spots in the NET and 11 spots in the resume average after their double digit loss to Nova at home in a slow possession game. Even lost a Q2 win with Georgia falling out of top 100 NET. I would be surprised if they weren't on the wrong side of the bubble right now. BracketMatrix moved them from last four in to first four out. Winning against UConn would certainly go along way to putting them in, and then they'll get either Butler+UConn or Gtown+Creighton in BET. Feels like 2 more wins gets them in.
63. Seton Hall 19-11 (12-7)
Power - #59, Resume - #44
Non-Conf SoS - #222
Away/Neutral: 6-8
Q1: 5-7 (1A 3-6), H-UConn, H-Marquette, @-St. John's, @-Providence, @-Butler
Q2: 4-3
Top 2: 9-10
Q3+Q4 losses: 1, H-Rutgers
Wins Under Consideration: 6-8 (13-3 non)
BracketMatrix - 11 seed, Last four in (#42)
Remaining schedule - H-DePaul
Thoughts - Removed a bad loss as USC has moved up a bit, but it's still tenuous. Stayed in the same spot in BracketMatrix over the last week. 5-7 Q1 wins is very strong for the bubble and potentially 6 if Nova moves slightly up again. Resume looks pretty good to me. Auto-win left, just need to avoid the funniest thing. They will likely be in a bubble off in BET quarters with St Johns or Nova again.
65. Butler 18-13 (9-11 BE)
Power - #66, Resume - #61
Non-Conf SoS - #87
Away/Neutral: 6-8
Q1: 4-11 (1A 2-6), @-Marquette, @-Creighton, N-Boise State, H-Villanova
Q2: 4-2
Top 2 8-13
Q3+Q4 losses: 0
Wins Under Consideration: 6-12 (12-1 non)
BracketMatrix - Off bubble
Remaining schedule - None until BET.
Thoughts: They're still pretty far away. Q1 win % is bad. Predictives aren't great. They're going to need to win at least 2 maybe 3 games in BET.
For comparison, here's the last non-Big East team currently in the field by BracketMatrix.
26. New Mexico 22-8 (10-7)
Power - #36, Resume - #48
Non-Conf SoS - #268
Away/Neutral: 8-8
Q1: 2-5 (1A 1-4), @-Nevada, H-San Diego St
Q2: 4-1
Top 2: 6-6
Q3+Q4 losses: 2, H-UNLV, H-Air Force
