How did I arrive at this?
Each team receives points for wins:
8 for a win over a top 25 RPI team, 5 for a 26-50, 3 for a 51-100, 2 for a 101-200, 1 for a sub-200, 0 for a non-DI
Then subtract for losses:
1 for a loss to a top 25 RPI team, 2 for a 26-50, 3 for a 51-100, 5 for a 101-200, 8 for a sub-200, 13 for a non-DI
Then subtract the team's RPI rank and half of its conference RPI rank
Let's do an example....
BYU has one wins over top 25 for 8, four over 26-50 for 20, three over 51-100 for 9, six over 101-200 for 12, and five over sub-200 for 5.
That makes 54.
The Cougars' one loss was to a top 25, so that's -1 to make 53.
They have an RPI of 12, so 53 - 12 = 41 and the MWC is #5 in CRPI so we subtract 2.5 to make a grand total of 38.5.
In comparison, the weakest #1 seed, Connecticut, has a grand total of 82. The last at-large team in, Washington, has a grand total of -21
The team RPI penalty is capped at 100. That should only affect the automatic bid teams in the 12-16 seed range.
The lowest RPI team to get an at large this time is Washington at #50.
In the event of a tie, the total before any RPI modification is used.
If still tied, the total with the team RPI modifier but not the CRPI modifier is used.
Many teams got moved across brackets at the same seed to avoid facing conference opponents too early in the tournament.
Occasionally teams may need to be moved up or down one seed for the same purpose, this projection has four such changes.
Florida State, Texas A&M, Chattanooga, and Charlotte each moved up one seed, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Louisville, and Kansas State
each moved down one.

Hopefully we can play tough the rest of the big west games after the shellacking we are probably going to take at Stanford on Thursday.
