If that's a sample of the lines (I know there are others likely in there, like WVU), how do you like the chances for 12's and 11's now?

I'd be really surprised if TCU ends up as high as the 5/6 line unless they pull a number of upsets down the stretch. TCU more likely to be in the 8 to 10 range if we even make the tournament.

They're an odd one, because the numbers are so darn strong. SOS, NC-SOS, NC-RPI...they are all very good. 10 games against Group 1...6-8 vs. Groups 1 and 2. They look better than a lot of teams, but, then, who in their non-conference is even going to the tournament? USD isn't a lock, Bonnie's no longer that great, SMU is probably out...Nevada, who might be falling apart? Belmont, just because they seem to win all of the time?

Honestly, if they fall into the 7-10 lines, and if I was a 1 or 2, I'd be calling the committee out publicly to know how the decisions are made. There are no bad losses there now because of the tiering...it's not like Vandy hurts them. But, yeah...where do they go? I could see them as a 6. I like them there more than I like Texas and Kansas State...those guys come to mind as the 7-11's. I mean, maybe if TCU can't win anymore meaningful conference games...seems like they've been very competitive and could take any of these guys, though.
