OK, you leaving out Oregon and Gonzaga is reasonable, but where the hell is Villanova?

Villanova has no wins over decent teams (George Mason is their best win) and one bad loss (to NCSt. on a neutral court). While this does not doom Villanova forever, it does keep them from making the bracket this week (and probably until they get into Big East play).
