Just Missed: Boston U, St John's, Drexel, Creighton
Last In: Illinois, LSU, Duquesne, Miami (FL)
How did I arrive at this?
First, I gave two points for a win over a top 25 RPI team and one for a win over a 26-50 RPI team.
Then, I subtracted one point for a loss to a 26-50 team and two for a loss against a sub-50 team.
I then added points based on the remaining schedule: .5 for a game remaining against a top 25 RPI team and .25 for a game against a 26-50 RPI team.
Teams more than one game under .500 in conference are not allowed in.
Many teams were moved within the same seed to prevent teams in the same conference from meeting before the conference finals. In this instance four teams swapped seeds to avoid this. Quinnipiac and Duquesne moved up one; Villanova and Miami (FL) moved down one.
Conferences are capped at 8 teams in.
Ties went in favor of the team with the better RPI.
The cut off for getting in as an at large was -4.5 points. It took 15 to get a #1 seed.
