    AMERICAN: Charlotte (33) is above the cut line today, but a loss in the semis would put them on the bubble. Charlotte's best metrics are a non-conference RPI of 11, a 4-2-4 record vs. the top 100 and no Quad 4 losses. This should be a one-bid conference, but if Charlotte gets chosen as an at-large this would be a stolen bid and bust someone else's bubble.

    ACC: My metric calcs don't like California (28), but they are far enough above the cut line to be safe even with a loss. Notre Dame (47) doesn't seem reachable. Virginia Tech (42) ranks 49th in my metric calculation. I think the Selection Committee is going to be fine with 10 ACC selections, including Cal, and leave UND and VT out.

    BIG EAST: Georgetown (11) and Providence (17) are locks for the NCAA Tournament. Akron (31) is probably as well...even a loss will keep them around the same RPI. The Zips did not have a great non-conference season, so I think they need to win the Big East Tournament in order to earn a 1st-round bye. St. John's needs to win the Big East tourney to grab a bid.

    I forgot. Cal cannot lose as that would put them under .500 vs. Division I teams. They must win or send it to penalty kicks.

    California has pulled even with Clemson. The Bears once trailed 2-0. Cal must win or draw to stay eligible for an NCAA Tournament invitation.

    Georgetown scores a golden goal in the 99th minute. The Hoyas play Providence in the Big East championship game.

    Clemson hung on to eliminate Cal and set up an ACC final with Wake Forest. Cal finishes with a losing record vs. Division I and is, thus, ineligible for the NCAA Tournament.

    RPI cut line is 40/41.

    33 UCLA
    34 Akron
    35 UNCG
    37 Saint Louis (can still win A10)
    38 Kansas City (can still win Summit)
    40 George Mason
    41 Virginia Tech
    42 Monmouth
    43 New Hampshire
    44 Princeton (can still win Ivy)
    45 Drake
    46 Wisconsin

    It should be noted that UC Santa Barbara has an RPI of 36 and is playing UC Davis in the Big West final, and High Point is at 39 and is playing Gardner-Webb in the Big South final. If either (or both) fail to win their respective conference's auto bid, that could alter the cut line.

    It looks a little different using my made-up metric.

    34 High Point (39)
    35 Monmouth (42)
    36 Akron (34)
    37 Kansas City (38)
    38 Northwestern (47)
    39 Saint Louis (37)
    40 Wisconsin (46)
    41 Princeton (44)
    42 George Mason (40)
    43 Fordham (31)
    44 Creighton (51)
    45 New Hampshire (43)

    UCLA and UNCG, last 6 with RPI only, are safely in using this metric. Monmouth and Northwestern elevate into the field. A10 teams George Mason and Fordham fall out of the field. Wild cards UCSB and High Point perform above their RPI in this metric...again, either or both failing to win auto bid(s) could affect the final selection.
