| 23 | Dayton | (19) This team should be beating up on the A10 I feel like based on their metrics |
| 24 | Clemson | (NR) Pretty good team out of the 2 bid ACC |
| 25 | South Florida | (NR) This team is hot against some decent teams but yikes such a bad OOC and a weak conference slate |
Overall Rationale
Dropped Out: #20 Colorado State, #24 New Mexico, #25 Grand Canyon. Two tough road losses especially against UNLV but the rams should be fine, wtf I thought the PIT was some supreme home advantage and they have lost 3 games there. Wanted a shootout to GCU for not losing and they lost. This March is either gonna be chaotic or be a Chalk fest
