Where I am unsure is the case of:
Southern Methodist. They are in the RPI range - but is the win over Oklahoma good enough? And that leads me to the next question:
Virginia Tech - Solid resume and great finish. But is the win against Duke good enough?
Purdue - Is the RPI truly going to keep them out?
Ohio - Is their RPI going to keep them in?
I think the four teams in right before them, should be in, based on NCAA-principles and historic predictions.

Some important matches going on now...
• Oregon State is about to beat Oregon which should all but assure them a place in the bracket. • Illinois State just got taken to a 5th set against Missouri State. A loss puts the Redbirds into the crowded bobble discussion. • Seton Hall is up 2-0 on Marquette in the Big East tourney. Marquette should be in regardless, but Seton Hall probably needs to win the tournament to get in (I wouldn't bet against them) • Ohio is down 0-2 at Dayton. Wouldn't be a terrible loss, but it certainly wouldn't be a great last impression for the committee

Illinois State survives in 5 and advances to the MVC final.
Ohio is up 17-10 in the 3rd set (trailing 0-2 in the match)
Seton Hall trails 16-20 in the 3rd (leads 2-0 in the match)

Wisconsin sweeps Purdue, possibly ending the Boilermakers' season and clinching the outright Big Ten crown.

I think Pacific's bubble just got popped.
Purdue really didn't close the season like a team in desperation mode. Losing at Wisky is understandable, but getting rolled in winnable matches at Minnesota and MSU just doesn't look good.

PAC-12 teams are gonna rocket with adjustments. SMU, Ohio will drop significantly with no T25 wins. I'm curious to see where the WCC ends up. LSU has a big match at SCAR tomorrow.
