The NCAA has posted its final lacrosse RPI, which is supposed to account for 30 percent of the selection criteria.

If this was purely an exercise in RPI, the nine at-large teams would be Duke (No. 1), Syracuse (No. 2), Virginia (No. 3), North Carolina (No. 5), Johns Hopkins (No. 7), Ohio State (No. 8), Maryland (No. 10), Denver (No. 12) and Princeton (No. 13).

Just missing the cut would be Brown (No. 14) and Navy (No. 15). Georgetown, by the way, is at No. 18.

Of course, there's more to it than just one mathematical formula. So everyone will have to sit and wait a couple more hours until Quint Kessenich pops up on the magic box to discuss the selections on ESPNU.
