It may come down to Syracuse and Towson. This is why: Based on RPI, SOS and Quality Wins, they are behind the following: Duke, Penn State, Virginia, Penn, Yale, Hopkins, Loyola, Cornell, Notre Dame, Maryland and Towson. Two or three of these teams get AQ's. Now if Towson defeats Drexel, they get the AQ and Syracuse is eight and last in line to get the At-large. If Towson loses then they fall slightly behind Syracuse in numerics but since they are neck and neck, the NCAA could invite Towson over Syracuse.
If the committee pulls off a surprise, it would be to drop Cornell, Notre Dame, Maryland or Hopkins. Unlikely but Cornell losing to Syracuse would probably be the argument.
Syracuse has an RPI, SOS and QW ranking of 9, 11 and 10. Go to

or
laxinteractive.com (what if?) to see how close they are with others.
If the MD1criteria means anything, Syracuse (should they get in) has NO chance for a home field first round game.

Re: NCAA MD1: Last team in, first team out!
First, thanks for all you do. Question:
Am I reading the PSU-JHU AQ odds at 45.25/54.75 as favoring JHU tonight?
Yet it seems as if the Power Rankings predict that the Jays will lose by over 5.
And neither seems a toss-up.
