CSN West

Here are my latest projections based on the GPI. I am surprised NDSU stayed at #1 but with just one loss, the index doesn't lie. Sam Houston State looks like they will have home field even with the #2 seed throughout the playoffs but there is a lot to contend with in the last week of the regular season. I will make my last projections just before the official playoff announcement on Sunday.
