Notes:

• I think this is between Indiana, ND, Xavier, Rutgers, TAMU, SMU for the last three spots

• How much the committee excuses weak non-conf schedules because of COVID will dictate these final few spots. No excuses means that Xavier and ND look better, without it Rutgers and Texas A&M sneak in.
