Last Four In: Troy, Southern Miss, USC, Mississippi State
First Four Out: Kansas State, Baylor, UTRGV, UC Santa Barbara
Georgia Tech drops considerably in the RPI after a tough week and that drops them from national seed contention for the time being. Louisville, Arizona, and Coastal Carolina take the place of the Yellow Jackets, TCU, and Ole Miss. Baylor are still sitting on the fence as part of the First Four Out, while McNeese moves in as the projected Southland champion, swapping places with UTRGV. There are several teams on the doorstep of becoming a national seed and one good weekend could do that -- such as Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, UCLA, TCU, and Dallas Baptist.
