Notes

- Despite only a few games of importance last night, I did do a bit of reshuffling today after just some further evaluation.

- Providence and Seton Hall are curious cases, they have some big wins, but their results based metrics (KPI/SOR) are not the greatest. These metrics seem to have much more importance in the committees eyes than the predictive metrics (KenPom/BPI). Seton Halls and Providences numbers are worse then say Florida or Virginia or Ole Miss who may not have as many big wins as those teams. Providence and Seton Hall cant afford bad losses and probably need a few more big wins to make the field.
