A little early to start talking about bracketology when you play in the NEC, still fun to see that ESPN has the Colonials as a 15 seed playing Xavier in the South regional.
 
We'll see how the rest of the one-bid leagues pan out, but this might be the ideal year for the NEC to get off the 16-seed line. But that probably only happens if it's one of RMU, Wagner, or St. Francis (PA).

The NEC is 25th in conference RPI, the highest it's been in a few years. Some of that will shift as teams play each other. But if one of those three teams wins the NEC with an RPI around 150-160, they might be able to get a 15/2 match-up.

Ya around there would give the 15 seed a shot. 14 seed would only be possible with muitlple high seed mid/low majors running the table in the conference tournaments. Still 15 seed could be the same way too who knows.
 
Maybe these guys missed the two Wagner games. They have us as a 16 against Auburn. Of course no reason RMU can't win the NEC tourney.

Right our chance at getting the 1 seed has gone down some but with the 2-4 seed you can still make the NCAAT. It's a must sweep week tho if we still want/have a legit shot at the 1 seed.

Interestingly, it shows Wagner's RPI is 100, about 60 ahead of RMU. If they'd win the NEC with that, they should be a 13-15 seed honestly.
