New Hampshire is in my poll and Northern Arizona has been in my top 20 most of the season.

Harvard has a loss to Brown. They are certainly nowhere near my top 15 in the current state of the Ivy although they are in my poll.

Thus, it comes down to WCU, SUU and Towson to take the 25th spot. One could argue for SLU which isn't much difference (except based on two close losses instead of any quality wins). And as mentioned in my original post, H2H loss with weaker resume kills EKU and W&M.

The other options are: Dartmouth, Duquesne, Jackson State, and SC State (and apparently Tennessee State which pulls this soft frontloaded schedule every other year) . I wouldn't judge others for including them (especially Dartmouth), but these really are not top 25 teams this year. Dartmouth has 5 narrow escapes against mediocre competition at best (and often worse than mediocre). Jackson has bad loss to Grambling. Duquesne has won convincingly but no resume. I guess with SC State you could say we have no idea how good they might be but based on history, it's probably not in the top 30.
