...doubt that Harvard will be seeded any lower than No. 14 in any of the four 16-team regionals essentially vanished on Wednesday when Bucknell beat Holy Cross for the Patriot League championship. That result guaranteed that eight teams with Rating Percentage Index (RPI) rankings outside of the top 100 in the nation will be in the NCAA tournament. Harvard, with an RPI ranking in the low 60s, would in all likelihood be seeded higher than those eight teams based on past selection committee precedents...

If eight automatic tournament qualifiers have RPIs significantly below Harvard’s, the Crimson should be at least a 14th seed in the tournament.
