Like a couple weeks ago, I still think Virginia is a worthy #1 seed right now even though the APers have the 'Hoos down a peg. West Virginia and Miami FL are likewise a bit underrated in my view, as is (surprise!) Duke.
On the flip side, Providence doesn't belong in anybody's Top 25. I think the Friars have a bid in them, I don't see them any better than a #9 seed right now. And I like Dayton, but I think their #14 spot in the AP Poll this week is a little lofty. Notre Dame's swollen defensive efficiency rating drags them down in My Numbers, but the quality wins the Irish are racking up will be hard to ignore by committee.
Errata -- My quality control department regrets letting Louisville slip onto this list, despite their decision to fall on their sword in the evolving Whore-gate saga, much to Rick Pitino's chagrin. We won't let it happen again.
