That’s better than Northwestern (59) and South Carolina (57), which are considered to be safely in the field. It’s better than Butler (56), which ESPN bracketologist Joe Lundardi has as one of his “last four byes.” It’s better than Providence (58) and Ole Miss (64), which Lunardi has among the last four in. It’s better than four more teams listed in Lunardi’s first 12 out, including Memphis (81!) which has played like garbage for ages now but won some big games quite literally last year.
