I think they're in, but it's a lot closer than people will think. Right now I have them as a 10 seed but wouldn't be surprised if they're an 11 or even a 12.

After a lot of debate I have it down to 6 teams for 3 spots (I do think Cal and Minnesota are in, so essentially 4 for 1)- tell me why one over the other:
