This weekend will be the official one month mark until Selection Sunday, and the Villanova Wildcats are looking to earn the #1 overall seed for a second consecutive season. To do that, the ‘Cats need to just keep doing what they’ve been doing: winning.
This year the NCAA Selection Committee will be using a Quad System that looks at game location along with RPI rankings. You can find a full explanation of the new system here, but the basics are pretty straight forward:
New NCAA Quad Metric Using RPI Rank
| Quadrant | Home | Neutral | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quadrant | Home | Neutral | Away |
| Quad 1 | 1-30 | 1-50 | 1-75 |
| Quad 2 | 31-75 | 51-100 | 76-135 |
| Quad 3 | 76-160 | 101-200 | 136-240 |
| Quad 4 | 161+ | 200+ | 241+ |
Villanova’s “Report Card”
Villanova continues to be the team to beat in the rankings, and at this point it will probably take a Wildcat loss to knock them out of the #1 spot.
