Edited: Louisville self-imposes postseason ban, won't play in ACC or NCAA tournaments.

Despite no Pac 12 road wins to speak of, Oregon State slides into Road to Selection Sunday's latest Field of 68 projection. At some point OSU must lessen that glaring hole on its resume, but in the meantime they get another quality-win opportunity (Colorado) in Corvallis this weekend.

The Beavers are joined by at-large newbies Cal and George Washington. Falling out of the field are Louisville, Saint Joseph's, and UCLA. One significant development among the conference leaders is Gonzaga taking over the top spot in the WCC. The Zags holding the WCC auto bid perhaps opens up an at-large bid, but for now I still have former WCC leader Saint Mary's hanging on as one of the "last 4 in", though the Gaels resume certainly is on the suspect side.
