If Tenn gets in it will because of their brand. I do not think they are deserving.

Princeton being on the list meant that even if they lost the Ivy they would have been on the bubble. That means 4 of the remaining 7 are the last 4 in.

It's easy to criticize taking Tennessee because they are clearly the biggest underachievers in WBB this year. But to leave them off you have to justify taking 4 of those 7 ahead of them.

From what I'm seeing elsewhere, Indiana has the strongest resume of the debatable 7 based on a win vs a top 10 Iowa. But they also lost to Grambling and like Tenn they have a losing conf record.

UCF has a good RPI and is expected to be in. To me that reflects problems in how RPI works more than quality from UCF. Getting crushed by UConn 3 times helped them. Their only win vs a team expected to be in the tourney is Quinnipiac.

Auburn is expected to make the last 4 in.

That leaves Ohio, TCU, and Arkansas.
