A little dated. And yes I know it's not the goal so please don't state the obvious. This is just FWIW.
Seton Hall and the Big East – I’m currently only projecting four Big East teams into the NCAA tournament (Villanova, Xavier, Providence and Butler). They’re all easy calls. After their big road victory over Marquette, the Pirates are the logical fifth team from the conference. The problem? A real lack of a quality wins. Kevin Willard’s team is 11-2, but they’ve beaten only two NCAA tournament at-large quality teams (Georgia, Wichita St.) and that puts a huge burden on conference play. The margin of error is extremely slim. The other Big East teams with at-large hopes—Georgetown and Creighton—also need some big statements in Big East play. The top of the Big East is excellent, but it may limit the number of bids the league receives to the Big Dance on Selection Sunday.
1. Seton Hall
8. James Madison
4. Ohio St.
5. UNC Wilmington
3. Ole Miss
6. San Diego St.
2. Georgia Tech
7. Middle Tennessee
1. Oregon St.
8. UC Irvine
4. Evansville
5. UT Arlington
3. Saint Joseph’s
6. Oakland
2. Kansas St.
7. Louisiana Tech
1. Saint Mary’s
8. Wisconsin
4. Northeastern
5. Rhode Island
3. BYU
6. Creighton
2. Northern Iowa
7. Tulsa
1. Northwestern
8. Memphis
4. Georgetown
5. Boise St.
3. Syracuse
6. Davidson
2. Georgia
7. Georgia St.
Others considered: Milwaukee, Temple, New Mexico, UAB, Duquesne, Marquette, Southern Illinois, Fordham, Houston, Fresno St., LSU (plus 42 other teams that are more likely CIT/CBI bound)
