Villanova #1 overall seed. Butler #13 overall. Creighton mentioned first when asked which teams just missed the Top 16.

So happy Cincinnati wasn't in there. The idiots I have to put up with in school(high schoolers aren't always the smartest) thinking they would be a 2-3 seed was insane. Hopefully this brings them down to earth.

Early, but I like how they were thinking. Creighton will jump Butler when they continue to win... They are learning fast how to play with out Watson.

Committee > AP & Coaches poll
I don't even care about Nova's overall #1 spot (lol yeah we've had it good), but Butler being in and Creighton being mentioned is a good sign. I love that the committee appears to be factoring in the SOS quite a bit.

To me the big thing from the reveal was that this committee looks like it's using RPI heavily.
of the 16 teams revealed, 11 were within 3 spots of their actual RPI.
So if this is the case consistently, this would be bad news for teams like Marquette(84 right now), Georgetown(62), and Providence(67)- but good news for Seton Hall(49).
