December 30 Update: West Coast Represent

Biggest mover over the last week was St. Mary's; with their one point conference season opening victory over West Coast juggernauts Gonzaga, the Gaels jump back into the S-Factor-predicted tournament.

The S-Factor is predicting a 5-seed for St. Mary's, which is absurdly high, though not as absurd as Sacramento State's 4-seed.  The Hornets of Sacramento State are bolstered in the formula by their top 50 and top 25 wins: over Oregon (RPI 33) and over ... St. Mary's (RPI 15) on December 5th in Sacramento.  This, so far, is St. Mary's only loss of the season.

St. Mary's
James Madison
