Based on how the conference tournaments played out and our rankings...

it looks like we should definitely be in. We may be last four in or just above that but it shouldn't matter too much as we should be a lock for a #3 seed in some regional and no matter how it shakes out, we will likely be in a fairly tough regional. Looking at our rankings, we are currently #42 in RPI, #37 in KPI and #25 in DSR. The RPI is the most concerning but even if the committee strictly used that, if you factor in the 29 Auto Qualifiers, we have the 35th best RPI of the remaining at-large candidates which would put us as the last team in so I believe that would be the worst case scenario. And looking at the last projections from D1, BA, On3 and Pear Ratings, all four have us in the tournament as a #3 seed in various regionals. Personally, I could see us land in the Morgantown Regional with WVU and possibly a #2 seed like Arkansas and then a random #4 (possibly a team like Northern Illinois). In any case, given who we have played this year and conference affiliations, I assume we would not be placed in regionals against GT, UNC, Texas A&M, Mississippi State and Florida State.

Just like most every other VT sport. One of, if not the toughest, regions
