Tough one to predict, the top seeds have proven capable of losing to almost anyone at any given time

watch for the Richmond Spiders

My dark horse is Rhode Island. I think that if they can make it to the finals, they'll sneak into the tournament on selection Sunday.

What happens to Dayton if they lose this one to Davidson? There's no way they could fall completely out of the Dance...right?

No, they're in no matter what. Unless the committee pulls a stunner.

If VCu loses this shit league will get 3 bids?

Kick Dayton or VCu out.

Look at their resumes.

Anyone on the bubble is really rooting for VCU now. Dayton and VCU are both likely in no matter what.

They def are. But it's a joke. Both are so blah. At least should be placed in the play in

The whole bubble is some kind of blah this year, that's the reason why they are both automatically in.

Gonna be the weakest tourney field I can remember.

VCu has beaten Dayton and Midde Tennessee.

That's about it

Great, they won a 2 bid league.

@ericd7633 why is VCU considered so safe? Their wins are non existent. They lost to Fordham.

If they lose this they should be forced to the play in game

Just some of the things that stick out to me are 11-5 against the top 100 and 11-6 on the road/neutral. Their resume isn't great or anything, but when you compare it to say Rhode Island, who's right around the cut line, they have a better resume by about 2 seed lines IMO. IMO VCU will be a 9/10 so they would be one of the last 8/10 at larges to make the field IMO.

Edit* - I also don't think the committee has ever left out the outright winner of a top 8 league before.
