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 San Diego State (KP #28, RPI #23, SAG #31)
#42 Purdue (SAG #34)
#44 Indiana (RPI #29, SAG #32)
#45 Georgia (KP #35, BPI #25, RPI #30)
#49 Ole Miss (KP #30, BPI #30)
#52 Temple (RPI #33)
#54 Maryland (BPI #32, RPI #11, SAG #27)
#55 Dayton (KP #33, BPI #26, RPI #31)
#56 St. John’s (KP #36, RPI #34, SAG #35)
#60 SMU (KP #22, BPI #28, RPI #22, SAG #29)
#78 LSU (KP #31)
#79 Colorado State (RPI #27)
#80 Davidson (RPI #34, SAG #36)
#81 Northern Iowa (KP #15, BPI #13, RPI #18, SAG #26)
#92 Notre Dame (KP #18, BPI #16, RPI #26, SAG #13)

Next this week is the variance report that shows team’s movement over the last week.  Today we will show team’s that had a 30 spot or greater change in their ranking inclusive of all conferences:
