Seed at yesterday's announcement on left, parentheses AP ranking :

1. [U]Alabama[/U] (1)
2. Houston (2)
3. [U]Purdue[/U] (3)
4. Kansas (5)
5. [U]Texas[/U] (6)
6. Arizona (8)
7. [B]Baylor[/B] (9)
8. UCLA (4)
9. [B]Tennessee[/B] (10)
10. Virginia (7)
11. [B]Iowa State[/B] (19)
12. [U]Kansas State[/U] (12)
13. [U]Indiana[/U] (14)
14. Marquette (11)
15. Gonzaga (13)
16. [U]Xavier[/U] (16)

So only Miami (15) was in the AP top 16 and not in the seeded group, but they were in the next four with [U]Creighton [/U](18), SMC (17) and UConn(20).  So it does appear the committee follows the AP poll.

Bold = lost 2/18
Underlined = lost this past week

21-25 AP poll

SDSU (21)
[U]TCU[/U] (22)
[U]NC State[/U] (23)
Providence (24)
[U]FAU[/U](25)

That's 13 losses in the AP poll this week, 3 today in the 16 seeded teams and 9 total in the 16 seeded teams, 10 while including the next four.

NC State (UNC) and Purdue (OSU) play tomorrow but shouldn't make a difference to UConn's ranking, though both could be upsets (more likely UNC than OSU winning).

I think it should be something like this next week for BE teams:

Marquette - 9
X - 17
UConn -18
Creighton - 20
PC - 22
