Drop from #16 to #17, how many teams get to host? 16, the powers that be

are already sending a message, we don't want VT at home in the regionals! We beat UNC three straight and they are #48 in the RPI, so if we sweep Syracuse at 135 then does that mean we will move down more than 1 spot? I hope the committee does use KPI and DSR in their decision making for hosting. How does Stanford, who beat the worst team in the ACC move up four spots, and we drop 1 spot? Still too subjective, and favorites are picked every year, most being SEC. So I guess sweeping three SEC schools in SC, GA, and Auburn means nothing, but it would if they all swept us? Total BS!

"the powers that be"? The math polls are formulary. There is no rigging
