I have included the Top 36 teams in the SBPI this week &
will continue that format going forward.
Why? I figured there are 32
automatic bids & 36 at-large bids given out on Selection Sunday – so
including my Top 36 here can give a good feel for if your team has what it
takes to potentially earn an at-large come mid-March.
Here are additional teams of note that did not make the SBPI
Top 36 but were ranked inside Top 36 by at least one of the other four sources:
#37 Texas A&M (BPI #35)
#41 Purdue (SAG #34)
#42 Georgia (KP #35, BPI #27, RPI #32)
#44 San Diego State (KP #29, RPI #25, SAG #36)
#47 Ole Miss (BPI #33)
#50 Dayton (BPI #34, RPI #29)
#51 SMU (KP #23, BPI #26, RPI #20, SAG #32)
#54 Maryland (KP #34, BPI #28, RPI #10, SAG #24)
#55 Buffalo (RPI #34)
#57 Boise State (RPI #30)
#60 St. John’s (KP #36, RPI #28, SAG #35)
#65 LSU (KP #28, BPI#32)
#70 Northern Iowa (KP #13, BPI #15, RPI #16, SAG #25)
#75 Davidson (KP #32, BPI #31, RPI #36, SAG #31)
#79 Oregon (RPI #34)
#82 Notre Dame (KP #18, BPI #16, RPI #27, SAG #16)
#83 Colorado State (RPI #26)
