130 UAB NOT ON 2016 LIST

THREE CUSA Teams have improved their placement projections for 2017 and SIX have moved DOWN in the OS Predictions. UAB's return to CUSA is only a factor for the overall calculations. I will be surprised if UAB is last. Time will tell. At this point in the selections it is obvious that ODU will have to move up and improve their 2016 projection. 4 CUSA teams to still be picked.
