Texas, Louisville, Best B1G Team, and Stanford OR San Diego looks to be the most likely scenario at this point for Top 4 seeds, right? This also seems most likely, but - zero B1G teams should be on the table. Pitt is probably going to be #3 RPI if they win their last 2 matches (BC and of course GT have good records). Still seems like a bit of longshot for the ACC to get 2. Ohio State with 6 losses and one of them to a sub 100 RPI team- even if they win the rest - seems like a problem to me. Wisky has an absolute minefield left on the schedule, but if they beat Nebraska and lose to OSU - the whole conference possibly goes down for a regional seed. Then I am seeing - Texas, Louisville, San Diego, and Stanford. This would actually spread out the top B1G teams across the regionals and they probably end up getting 4 teams into the FF with none of the regional hosts advancing.

Michigan was in a back and forth match with Maryland but dominating here about to win 3-1. Huge for them. Still not comfortable by any means.

I think Loyola Marymount is in trouble. They're banking on 2x wins vs. #44 Pepperdine and LMU is #45 in the RPI right now. They also have a win over UCLA, but UCLA Has to win out and I'm still not sure where their RPI would land.

Michigan is #47 in RPI right now, and as of now, has just one top 50 win (but it is a top 25 win at Penn State)
They have RPI bombs coming up next week - Iowa *and* Rutgers. Ouch. This could work out in their favor though. Michigan also rooting for Bowling Green to win the MAC (BGSU is #51 right now)

Also - I guess Texas State has a shot at an at-large bid if they lose to James Madison? They could have a Top 25 win (JMU) and another T50 win (TCU).
Lots going on!
