Louisville:
1. Louisville (ACC)
16. Southern (SWAC)
8. Oregon State
9. South Florida
Things are looking up in Corvallis. The Beavers have won five out of six — their lone loss at Oregon, which is totally acceptable — and have beaten the Ducks and Arizona State at home in that stretch. The most impressive part of their resume? Oregon State has not lost to a team outside the RPI top 45, and that loss (to current RPI 45 USC) came on the road.
Athens:
4. Georgia
13. Belmont (OVC)
5. Rutgers
12. Central Michigan (MAC)
Georgia remains a 4 seed this week, but after beating Missouri on Thursday, the Bulldogs moved up a couple spots on the seed list. The opposite could be said of Rutgers, which moved down on the seed list with a loss at Indiana. The Scarlet Knights have dropped three in a row and four out of five.
