The formula still thinks Kansas’ strength of schedule is too good to pass up a one. Other than that, things are starting to fall into place.

A Couple of Notes:
1. Eventually Kansas will fall off of this one line. Their schedule is so strong the formula wants to keep them up there, but eventually their win/loss will take over and they will start to slide.
2. VCU and Gonzaga are very close. As VCU plays a weaker schedule those two will flip and VCU will slide and Gonzaga will move up.

Things are starting to fall into place as strength of schedule becomes more accurate. VCU has fallen off the one line and Notre Dame has moved up a bit. Both should continue their trend as SOS plays more of a factor. Remember, this is all quantitative so the more data that exists the better it will work out.
