They are:

23-4 overall
RPI is 3, Strength of Schedule is 4
7-3 vs. top 50
No bad losses
Won at Boise State, at Cincy, at Colorado State, and beat UCONN at a neutral site.

I know they will. But their resume, looking at it blindly seems more deserving of a fringe 1/2.

I think it's more of the 2 line being really solid. Lunardi has Michigan, Miami, Michigan State, and Kansas as #2 seeds. I wouldn't classify New Mexico in that group of teams. New Mexico could move up depending on how Michigan finishes the season.

New Mexico has a better resume than Michigan and Michigan State.

Michigan State has wins over Michigan, Ohio State, Kansas, Minnesota, and Illinois.

I think Georgetown could rise all the way to a #1 seed with the way their playing right now.

this is why they are a 3 seed. the top 8 have a better resume of wins. that said, they win out and they could get a 2.

Except they aren't a bunch of slow white dudes. So not like them at all. Also BYU didn't play anybody that year beside SDSU.
