San Diego State making case for No. 1 seed; Big 12 full of surprises

If bracket life were 100 percent objective, San Diego State would be a No. 1 seed this week. Losses by Duke and Syracuse caused a thorough re-evaluation of the top two seed lines and yielded some fairly interesting results. The chart to the right lists the 1-seed candidates in RPI order.

Yes, the Aztecs are tied for the best top-50 mark, have by far the best road/neutral record and have the best average RPI for its wins. So why did they end up fifth on this week's S-curve? Well, Kansas and Ohio State are also unbeaten and, in my mind, better teams at this point than San Diego State. Both the Jayhawks and Buckeyes have much greater scoring margins than the Aztecs, meaning they have been much more dominant against a somewhat softer schedule.

As for the two one-loss teams that ended up on the 1-seed line, Pitt and Syracuse both have three top-25 wins and Syracuse gets an asterisk for its loss Monday, having played tough without Kris Joseph.

I think this is fair enough, for now. That said, I thought about it. Hard. Other bracket projections do have the Aztecs as a No. 1 seed this week, and you definitely could make an argument for them. They have earned consideration with their scheduling and play. Given the greater strength and depth of several of the BCS leagues, it will be difficult for SDSU to end up as a 1, but it's not impossible. For now, consider them the TCU of the basketball world and enjoy the ride.

Locks: Duke

The Blue Devils suffered their first loss of the season at Florida State, the third time in the past decade Duke has lost there when ranked No. 1. The home win over Virginia wasn't terribly impressive, either. The result of this week is Duke is no longer a No. 1 seed.

Florida State (13-5, 3-1; RPI: 63, SOS: 84)What's a good way to follow up a disastrous week? Beat Duke and N.C. State at home to inject some legitimacy into your profile. The next eight are relatively soft, so it's moving time for the 'Noles.GW: Duke, Baylor (N)?BL: at Auburn

Miami (12-5, 1-2; RPI: 32, SOS: 35)The 'Canes held off BC for a crucial home win to kick off a defining stretch that includes five of seven at home in league play.

Virginia Tech (11-5, 2-2; RPI: 73, SOS: 72)The Hokies deserved to win at Chapel Hill and then took out their frustrations on bottom-feeder Wake Forest. This is like Bizarro Season for Virginia Tech. The Hokies scheduled up in nonleague play and are impressing in the league, but a collection of factors may see them miss the NCAAs yet again.GW: OK State (N)?BL: Virginia

Maryland (11-6, 1-2; RPI: 91, SOS: 83)The Terps were a controversial bracket inclusion last week, staying in under the "all of these profiles are very flawed, so I'm going with the team I think is best" corollary. In return, Maryland had another week where it looked impressive and did very little to help its resume after fading late at Villanova.GW: NoneBL: None, really

Clemson (13-4, 2-1; RPI: 90, SOS: 179)The Tigers beat Georgia Tech, which is mostly win-column filler this season, but winning the games you're supposed to win is how you'll stay afloat in the ACC standings.

N.C. State (11-6, 1-2; RPI: 104, SOS: 142)With two more losses this week, these coming with Tracy Smith available, the 'Pack is really a marginal candidate at this point. Can they shock Duke on Wednesday to jumpstart an NCAA push?GW: George Mason (N)?BL: None

Locks: Kansas

The Jayhawks were tested twice more but won both, and then went on national TV and ripped Baylor in Waco. Amazingly in a deep Big 12, the Jayhawks may only have one road game all season against a ranked team: the season-finale at Missouri, a team Kansas traditionally handles very well. Texas and Texas A&M both come to Lawrence. Were we looking at the wrong part of the country for an undefeated season?

Texas A&M (15-1, 3-0; RPI: 17, SOS: 73)The Aggies won the best game I've seen this season on Saturday, 91-89 in OT over Missouri.

Next up: at Texas and vs. K-State.GW: Temple (N), Washington, MissouriBL: None

Texas (14-3, 2-0; RPI: 41, SOS: 61)The 'Horns pounded two league minnows and now get to host Texas A&M before heading to Kansas on Saturday for a two-pack of mouthwatering matchups.

Missouri (16-3, 2-2; RPI: 30, SOS: 78)The Tigers have been in practically every great game in the country this season, and came back to rout K-State after falling at A&M. They only have Iowa State at home this week and then get a week to prepare for a trip to Texas, so they should be ready to deliver another compelling game.GW: Vanderbilt, Illinois (N), Old DominionBL: at Colorado?

IN THE MIX

Colorado (13-4, 3-0; RPI: 71, SOS: 170)The Buffaloes have surged from the outside to take a fairly significant position in the Big 12 order in just two weeks. That's what happens when you open league play by beating Missouri, Kansas State and Oklahoma State. Winners of six D-I games in a row, they now have winnable road games at Nebraska and Oklahoma before Kansas comes calling.GW: Missouri, at Kansas State (sans Kelly)BL: at San Francisco

Kansas State (12-6, 1-3; RPI: 51, SOS: 25)Curtis Kelly is back, so there's no good way to excuse the beating K-State took at Missouri after a dominant win over Texas Tech. Things don't get any easier, either, with the next three at A&M, home to Baylor (a game that both teams really need) and at Texas. A preseason top-five team is working its way toward missing the NCAAs altogether.GW: Gonzaga (N), at Washington State?BL: None

Baylor (12-5, 2-2; RPI: 100, SOS: 178)Speaking of highly regarded teams that are in increasing danger of missing the NCAAs, the Bears got crushed in their last two outings. Home to Kansas isn't great, but is excusable. But at Iowa State? The Bears are entering the relatively soft part of the slate, so they need to stack some wins quickly. Then they need to beat someone(s) of substance in the final few weeks.GW: NoneBL: at Iowa State (by 15)?

Oklahoma State (13-4, 1-2; RPI: 42, SOS: 80)After a second-half beatdown in College Station, the Pokes went to Boulder and got beat by surging Colorado. Now the home date with Iowa State is virtually a must-win before the schedule toughens.GW: None, reallyBL: None

Iowa State (14-4, 1-2; RPI: 85, SOS: 160)Give Kansas a huge scare and then thump Baylor? Another impressive week for the Cyclones. We'll find out this week if they have any real designs on NCAA contention when they're at OK State and Mizzou.GW: NoneBL: at Nebraska?

Nebraska (13-4, 1-2; RPI: 108, SOS: 216)The Huskers battled Mizzou and KU very hard on the road, but came back with two losses. The games this week -- vs. Colorado and at Texas Tech -- are both must-gets, with A&M, at K-State and KU looming after.GW: USC (N)?BL: Davidson (N)?

Locks: Pittsburgh, Villanova, Syracuse, Connecticut

The top four teams in the league spent MLK Day squaring off, although the absence of Kris Joseph took some oomph out of the Pitt-'Cuse nightcap. Two solid contests, one great ending and four teams that look to have the quality to make the second weekend of the NCAAs ... and in a couple of cases, maybe beyond.

Notre Dame (14-4, 3-3; RPI: 13, SOS: 11)Last week's Bubble Watch: "The only gripe you can have at this point is that ND hasn't been able to close the deal on the road." Oops.

Not a good statement for a program that has consistently been roadkill in the Big East.GW: Wisconsin (N), Gonzaga, Georgetown, UConnBL: None

West Virginia (12-4, 3-2; RPI: 9, SOS: 5)It was an excellent week for the Mountaineers, who crushed Providence and then beat Big Ten standout Purdue.

Georgetown (13-5, 2-4; RPI: 3, SOS: 1)The Hoyas' Big East slide started to hit alert level with a 15-point home loss to Pitt.

Louisville (14-3, 3-1; RPI: 40, SOS: 47)An underrated component in epic comebacks is a team just refusing to call it a day. Louisville opted not to pack it in with six minutes left, down 18 to Marquette, and pulled off a stunning comeback win that helped make up for a 14-point loss at Villanova.

St. John's (11-5, 4-2; RPI: 14, SOS: 3)Another sign of a budding team: responding well to adversity. After Syracuse came in and crunched the Johnnies, they rebounded by manhandling Notre Dame on Sunday. If it wasn't already, Steve Lavin's first season in the Apple is becoming a story. Wobbling Louisville and Cincinnati are up next. Hmm ...GW: at West Virginia, plus a couple of strong home wins in leagueBL: St. Bonaventure, at Fordham

Cincinnati (16-2, 3-2; RPI: 54, SOS: 221)What we're learning about the Bearcats: They're pretty decent and very physical, but maybe not enough of each to handle road games at the better teams in the conference. That's an issue, because the next four games include trips to ND, St. John's and Pitt.GW: Dayton, XavierBL: None

Marquette (12-6, 3-2; RPI: 70, SOS: 54)The Golden Eagles played 75 terrific minutes of basketball this week. Sadly, the five bad ones resulted in a mystifying collapse at Louisville that cost TBW what looked like a sure road W. With three of the next four at the Bradley Center, this is still a team on the rise, but that loss could potentially end up being costly.GW: None, reallyBL: None

Locks: Ohio State

Yes, the Buckeyes are struggling to close out games, but they should be commended for the end of the Penn State game. They went inside to Jared Sullinger and he was called for a charge. After Penn State tied the game, they went back to Sullinger and he converted a three-point play. After Penn State tied it a second time, they yet again went inside to Sullinger, who kicked it out, quickly reposted, got the ball back and again scored and was fouled, providing the final margin of victory. Thank you, Ohio State, for knowing your strengths and for executing properly under pressure.

Purdue (15-3, 4-1; RPI: 15, SOS: 39)No need for Boiler fans to hit the panic button despite two tough road losses. The 4-0 league start came against the bottom part of the league, so Purdue is finding its level a bit, but the road efforts were encouraging. Still a very solid team that has the schedule coming up to pick up more wins.GW: at Virginia TechBL: None

Illinois (13-5, 3-2; RPI: 34, SOS: 26)The Illini couldn't avoid "pulling a Michigan State" and lost at Penn State before also falling at Wisconsin. Now they have two huge home dates this week against Michigan State and Ohio State. Three of the last five league games are away at those two teams and at Purdue, so picking up wins now is paramount.GW: Maryland (N), UNC, Gonzaga (N)BL: Illinois-Chicago (N), at Penn State?

Wisconsin (13-4, 3-2; RPI: 30, SOS: 46)Like Notre Dame, the Badgers annually have trouble winning on the road, and the late-game fade at Michigan State didn't help that rep. The schedule is very favorable over the next seven games, so expect the Badgers to head to Purdue on Feb. 16 with a very shiny league mark.GW: at Marquette, Boston College (N), N.C. State?BL: None

Minnesota (14-4, 3-3; RPI: 20, SOS: 38)This is about where the Gophers should be after a brutal opening stretch and then a couple of winnable home games. The good news is that they only have one road game left against a top-half team and three of the remaining six home games are also against lower-level clubs. Expect 11 or 12 league wins.GW: North Carolina (N), West Virginia (N)BL: Virginia

Michigan State (11-5, 4-1; RPI: 18, SOS: 7)The 4-1 league mark is great, but things are still not humming in East Lansing, despite overtime escapes against Wisconsin and Northwestern.

Penn State (10-7, 3-3; RPI: 57; SOS: 10) Coming off the MSU win, the Nittany Lions edged Illinois but just missed pulling off what Ken Pomeroy judged to be a 500-1 trifecta when they fell late at Ohio State. Still, with two high-quality wins in their pocket, they're back in the at-large picture. This week only features the rematch with Purdue, which handled PSU easily in State College earlier this month. GW: Michigan State, Illinois BL: Maine

Northwestern (11-5, 2-4; RPI: 60, SOS: 88)The Wildcats may rue letting Michigan State escape in OT. The good news: They're done with road games against the league's elite. The bad news: They're running out of chances for impressive wins. The stretch from Jan. 23 through Feb. 5 (with home games against Wisconsin, OSU and Illinois and a trip to Minnesota) will decide things.GW: NoneBL: None

Washington repaid Arizona's Oregon State gift with a surprising loss at Stanford, throwing the league race back into some semblance of openness. The top couple of teams need to be careful.

Washington (13-4, 5-1; RPI: 21, SOS: 32)With nothing really of note accomplished in nonleague play, sloppy losses like the one at Stanford are not a good idea. Now the Huskies are tied in the loss column with Arizona, which visits Thursday night.GW: None, really (at UCLA and USC?)BL: None

Washington State (13-5, 3-3; RPI: 56, SOS: 91)The Cougars got nipped in OT at Cal for another harmful loss.

UCLA (11-6, 3-2; RPI: 64, SOS: 33)The Bruins swept the Oregon trip while rival USC fell twice and plunged off the watch, despite having two excellent wins and having beaten UCLA.

For lack of better options in the league and around the country, the Gators remain very safe at this point for NCAA selection, despite a home loss to South Carolina. The increased parity around the league, though, could result in suppressed seeding for the SEC come March. Worth noting: No one in the SEC West is currently a viable at-large candidate, although if Mississippi State keeps winning now that Dee Bost and Renardo Sidney are available, it will be an interesting case to discuss.
