My Top 4

Memphis
UCLA
UNC (regardless of tomorrow)
Kansas wins, they get it. Kansas loses and G'town loses, Texas gets it. Kansas loses and G'Town wins, it's a toss up between G'town and Texas.

Texas, G'town and Kansas will be, at worst, #2s, regardless of what happens tonight/tomorrow.

UNC grabs the East regional #1, Memphis South #1, UCLA West #1.

If Kansas is Midwest #1, Texas goes out west as #2, and G'town is the East #2. Duke South #2 and Tennessee Midwest #2.

If Texas is Midwest #1, G'town will still be East #2, but the rest will depend on the Selection Committee's sense of humor. If that humor is "pure evil", they will send Kansas back out West to be #2 to UCLA, which will piss KU fans off royally. If not, they will send them to the South. If "pure evil" is the setting, Tennessee goes to the South to set up a Memphis rematch. If not, they could go Midwest or West. My guess is West, with Duke still to the Midwest.

If G'town is Midwest #1, Kansas or Texas will be Midwest #2 (probably Texas), setting up a situation like last year with UCLA #2 in its own region, with Kansas out of region #1. "Pure evil" setting steps in again to determine if Kansas goes out West. If East #2 is open, I think Duke gets that, so if KU isn't out West, they go South #2 and Tennessee goes West.

I can't think of any other team getting serious discussion as a #2 or higher except perhaps if Wisconsin wins the B-10, and they will be weighed down by the down year of that conference. Indiana lost too early, Stanford lost three of its last five games, Xavier lost too early.
