First Four Out:  NC State, Indiana, Kansas, Penn State
 
The Top 16 National Seeds don’t change much this week except a few spots for some teams. However, there is a change among a lot of our one-bid conferences. Oregon, Virginia, Arizona State, Stanford, Texas A&M are the next teams up to host should anything drastically change over the coming weeks to those in the latter part of the Top 16. LSU, Oklahoma State, and Clemson are some teams who could potentially make their way into the conversation to host, but the window is closing fast, and they will need some help. Grand Canyon will not likely host a Regional this season as their RPI is just too low. The highest I see them being is a 2-Seed.
