"I'm afraid that HC can go undefeated next year and would be relegated to the play-in game"

Couldn't disagree more, sader1970. The PI slots are a function of RPI. It's my belief that the slotting is subjective only among the bottom 4-5 schools in the tourney. Lehigh had 10 losses, which is high for a tourney team. They had no quality wins, few quality opponents, and the 3rd-worst RPI in the tourney. They deserved the slot, but I don't think it has any bearing on next year's PL champ. They'll be evaluated on their own merits.

PL teams are consistently underseeded though ray. we as hc fans should know that there is not a direct rpi relationship with the seeding. if there was, we would have been seeded higher in each of the past three years (including the kansas game, as montana as a 15 seed had an rpi 10-15 spots lower than ours).

while i think we have at least earned the right not to be in the play-in game with our solid showings recently in the big dance, you can never be sure with the committee.
