Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2534918, member: 6927"] Villanova is in the RPI top 25 right now and so the committee certainly wouldn't consider this a bad loss. Miami, on the other hand, is in the 60s right now. The "top 25" as determined by the AP or coaches' polls are not considered by the committee at all. Again, I really got nothing. I predicted Duke at #12 and, at the time I made my predictions (which was before the Georgia-A&M game) I didn't even include Georgia among 6 or 7 teams I thought were in contention for the last of the top 16 seeds. In the past the committee has deviated from RPI and has forgiven teams with weaker SOS by giving precedence to quality wins. But in this case, Georgia's best win (over Texas A&M) is not even as good as Duke's best win (over South Carolina), unless one makes a big deal out of the fact that UGA's win over A&M was on the road.
