NCAA Field of 68 - January 4, 2012 Edition

• Syracuse still overall #1, followed by  Duke, Kentucky and Baylor
• I was late to the party on Seton Hall, but they are the big riser this week
• Xavier and Pittsburgh continue their free-fall, with Wisconsin starting to join them.  Florida State fell all the way out of the field.
• Northern Iowa's recent troubles have the Missouri Valley back to a 2-bid league
• Would the committee put Dayton in a First Four game at home?  They continue to play ping-pong with St. Joe's in my field, but the Flyers have better wins
