NCAA Field of 68 - February 8, 2012 Edition

• Kentucky overall #1, followed by Syracuse, Ohio State and Missouri
• Seton Hall is currently out due to a -3 in conference.  I believe at worst, a -2 is required for at-large consideration.  Northwestern is back to that level and has re-entered the field
• I put Miami in for NC State this week, mostly because of the Reggie Johnson factor.  While Miami is still in need of quality wins, they now have the big win that NC State lacks.  The Hurricanes still have work to do, but they are in this week.
• St. Joseph's is the last team in, beating out Colorado State.  While CSU has a 24 to 43 RPI advantage, the Redhawks have a 6 to 3 advantage in top 100 wins.
