Aside from 'Nova, these are the ranked teams whose closest geographic regional would be Philly ...
MD, UNC, Duke, WVU, Providence, UVA and Pitt
So, as we get closer and closer to March, root for the 'Cats to be ahead of those teams on the S-curve. The more that are behind 'Nova, the better.
(Looking down the list of potential tourney teams, aside from the aforementioned schools, there aren't any others with a realistic chance at being a "protected" seed in Philly.)
