Updates later but Mississippi is begging to be left out with a 17-21 against the top 100 and 6 straight losses. If they make it 7 straight losses and go 2&Q in the SEC I may move them out.

Army wins the Patriot league Championship.

Well I looked forward to updating this throughout the week but now WGAFF?

We don't deserve to make it, and we won't. Just pitiful. Please quit Gene.

Let's get it going now...c'mon guys!

Most of the Tournaments have been narrowed so you can see who are robbing bids. According to this if you went by strictly RPI, the selection committee would take RPI 44 and below. Depending on where u believe WSU is (43 - Warren Nolan) or (45 Boyds) - WSU is on the bubble where they are either out or would be out if they take somebody > 44

Down to 43 with addition of CUSA robbing a bid.

root for OU, because if Mizzou wins then down to 42.

Even worse possibly down to teams with RPI 40 or less

I see you have included Utah Valley as a 4 seed. The Great West does not have an auto-bid. It is hard for me to believe that Utah Valley and their #69 rpi and extremely poor SOS would get an at large bid.

Ok, I will delete them and that will free up 1 slot.

Baseball America take on the MVC

• The two remaining teams with any shots at at-large spots in the MVC tournament were both eliminated Friday, as Missouri State lost to Southern Illinois 3-2, and Illinois State was pounded by Creighton 10-3. Illinois State was a very remote at-large candidate anyway, and it remains behind Missouri State, Indiana State and Wichita State in the pecking order; the Redbirds are out. We still think Missouri State has done enough to earn an at-large spot in addition to the automatic qualifier, which will be decided by Saturday's Creighton-Southern Illinois game. Indiana State remains in the picture as a third possible MVC team, but Missouri State's exit is a death knell for Wichita State's hopes, as the Valley won't be a four-bid league.

how has CUSA robbed a bid?

EDIT: NM, I didn't realize they do pool play and see UAB/Memphis will be in the champ tomorrow.
