USC??? Seriously? And especially if Illinois wins out (including Penn State and Purdue)...not a chance.

I wrote my comment after you said: "Another under the radar match - UC Irvine hosts UCSB tonight and are hanging around the #75 mark in unadjusted RPI. A loss tonight and they are likely to permanently move below 75 which is likely to cost Illinois the scheduling bonus. This could make a difference for regional seed if USC goes on a roll (big night for them also). " ...and before your clarifying comment showed up.

Rice (currently 12-0 in conference) down 2-0 to FAU! They'll still get an at-large bid with a loss here and another in the conference tourney, but this is not ideal for Baylor or Texas Tech in their respective missions because they'd likely lose a top 25 win.
Edit: Actually Rice could still squeeze in to the top 25 with a loss here. Futures has them at 25 going 1-1 in their final two matches before their tournament.

Cal Poly still needs to take care of business - @ Davis not a cakewalk. I want to keep respecting your opinions. Please tell me the "not" was included on accident.

Washington State: South Carolina, Hawaii, High Point Last 4 in: Arizona, Utah, Hawaii, Kansas State First 4 out: LMU, Colorado, Yale, Princeton Next 4 out: Indiana, Wichita State, Miami, Notre Dame Yale doesn’t make sense in first 4 out for three reasons: 1. You have them in the tournament 2. In order to not get the AQ, Yale would have to lose its regular season closer today and then lose a playoff tiebreaker against Princeton. This would knock them out of contention. 3. That’s a moot point because we won’t lose at home against Columbia tonight! Boola Boola! Princeton has to win their final game then twiddle their thumbs til selection Sunday hoping bubble teams flounder.

Can someone call the committee and tell them we've got it done. They can just go ahead and go with this? I think I'd make the drive to Pullman to see Hawaii and WSU.
