A couple notes: Massachusetts remains in the bracket, even though St. Joseph's remains out. St. Joseph's have beaten the Minutemen twice, but UMass' resume remains to strong to left out of the field. UMass is now skating on thin ice, as they can not afford to slip up in the A-10.
Syracuse is a true 12 seed, but could only be inserted as a 11 seed (8 Big East teams). They got the nod over a falling Villanova squad, even though Villanova holds the head-to-head matchup. Villanova is slumping at the moment and have a tough schedule ahead (including a huge "bubble" game Saturday vs. Syracuse). Syracuse is one of the last teams in even though there rotation has now shrunk to 6 players! Freshman guard Scoop Jardine has been suspended indefinitely by the University, which means Syracuse is now absent another player. It should be interesting to see if the Orange can stay afloat over the next couple weeks.
Arizona State remains after dropping both decisions to the Washington area schools this week. They played well against Washington State, however, and showed that they are for real in the Pac-10. They computer numbers at the moment are AWFUL. An RPI in the 90's and an SOS close to 200 will not look good on Selection Sunday. The Sun Devil's numbers should improve with Pac-10 play and that is why they remain in the field for the time being.
With that said, here are the Seeds to this weeks field. I currently have the field in bracket form but I'm having trouble moving it from Microsoft Excel to my blog. If anybody knows how I can insert a file from Excel into my blog that would be great! I hope to get the bracket out by later tonite.

Seed List through 1/12
I decided to make a seed list before Sunday's games today just to get a general idea where everyone stands. I think today's most important game is that of Syracuse @ West Virginia. Both teams are coming off a loss, Syracuse @ Cincy and West Virginia @ Louisville. As of right now I replaced West Virginia with Louisville, but a win against the Cuse today will put West Virginia back in the bracket and put Syracuse further on the bubble.
Another noticeable game today is that of Duquesne @ Rhode Island. Duquesne can further solidify a bubble resume with a win.
With that said, here is the seed list through Saturday's games. I'll put together a bracket tonight following the Duke-Virginia game.
1 Seeds- Memphis, North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA
2 Seeds- Washington State, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Duke
3 Seeds- Georgetown, Marquette, Michigan State, Indiana
4 Seeds- Butler, Dayton, Texas, Wisconsin
5 Seeds- Vanderbilt, Xavier, Pittsburgh, Mississippi
6 Seeds- Clemson, Arizona, Stanford, Saint Mary's
7 Seeds- Ohio State, Gonzaga, Arizona State, Drake
8 Seeds- Rhode Island, Miami (FL), Oregon, UConn
9 Seeds- Syracuse, Florida, Villanova, Oklahoma
10 Seeds- Notre Dame, San Diego State, Virginia, Baylor
11 Seeds- Kent State, Louisville, Illinois State, Arkansas
12 Seeds- St. Joseph's, Minnesota, BYU, South Alabama
13 Seeds- CSU Northridge, Oral Roberts, Utah State, VCU
14 Seeds- Sam Houston State, UNC-Asheville, Siena, Davidson
15 Seeds- Northern Arizona, UMBC, Hampton, Lafayette
16 Seeds- Jacksonville, Cornell, Wagner, Austin Peay, Jackson State
