10. Ball State
The Bears have worked their way up to the No. 5 overall seed thanks to an undefeated Big 12 record, an RPI of 5, a 9-1 road record, and 14 wins against top-100 teams. But with the top four teams so clearly defined right now, it’ll take someone messing up ahead of them to get to the 1 line.

14. James Madison (Colonial)
6. NC State
11. Quinnipiac (MAAC)
With five wins in a row, including one over Tennessee last week, it’s safe to say that Missouri has bounced back from its three-game losing streak. As for the Wolfpack, they have a chance for a major statement on the road against Notre Dame to close the regular season.
