Houston has creeped up to 51 in RPI...would be really nice for us if they broke into the arbitrary 'top 50' to give us 2 (or possibly 3) more quality wins.

Definitely.

They are actually up to 50 at the moment.

Nice find - we are actually now 3-3 vs RPI top 50, that's a nice and unexpected development. For some reason I thought TCU was close to top 50, but they are still only 78 so their win really didn't help us - damn, worthless Frogs...

TCU jumped up to 65 with win over KU on Live RPI and it pumped SMU up to No. 16-we were briefly at No. 15 tonite. USC trailing UCLA 38-32 right now

Caught Jank on Sirius XM College yesterday morning and after the interview they were discussing the seeding for SMU and CIncinnati and one of the points they made was how SMU was only 1-3 against the top 50 - so yeah 3-3 looks a ton better in the eyes of the committee for sure.

That's correct on TCU (64), I was looking at the wrong number. Houston sitting right at 50 (USC 43, Michigan 44, Boise 71). With UConn 122 though, I wonder if Houston can stay in top 50 after today even with a win...

What a terrible year for a program like uconn. All the championship goodwill has expired with last seasons performance

6 seed vs Xavier (who beat Butler last night) in Orlando- would play FSU in next round

I prefer ESPNs bracket. With CBS, that would be a difficult road to run.

Gregg Marshall went off on CBS's Jerry Palm for being inaccurate with his selections (61 / 84 folks doing a bracket in terms of accuracy), so I'm not sure how much credence I put into his bracket.

Purdue's size is a bit of a concern to me, I think we match up a little better with FSU, even with that one big guy they have (who doesn't seem terribly skilled, or at least certainly not as skilled as the two bigs that Purdue has)

Agreed, but I think if we are lucky enough to go up against Big 12 team, I would be happy. Based on their performances, they seem very beatable. I get nervous with ACC teams since it is a very tough conference. I also want to avoid UCLA as long as possible. I still get shivers.

UCLA's Defense is hot garbage and if (big if) they aren't hitting shots, we could pull the upset.

I would love a revenge game against UCLA.

Ain't scared. Bring 'em!

Would love to blow out Baylor.
