Editor’s note: This is an updated version of “Bracketology: Selection Sunday Morning Edition” reflecting Sunday’s results and the final projection before the NCAA tournament selection show (9 p.m. Eastern on ESPNU).

Selection Sunday has arrived, though in this particular season it should probably be called Seeding Sunday.

The decisions about selection should actually be relatively tame for this year’s Division I men’s lacrosse committee now that Duke routed Boston University. Pick four ACC schools (Duke, North Carolina, Notre Dame and Syracuse), three Big Ten programs (Johns Hopkins, Ohio State and Penn State) and Denver, while Army and Rutgers just miss out.

Seeding, though, is going to be tricky. Albany leaped to No. 3 in the RPI on Saturday, and it is unlikely a committee identical in composition to last year that hewed close to the RPI in its seeding decisions will go in another direction on that front. The Great Danes have probably bagged a home game.

But who goes on the road? Duke and defending champion North Carolina seem like obvious choices. Denver and Johns Hopkins are possibilities. Penn State, at No. 5 in the RPI, would also be difficult to ship out.

As for seeding, those five teams should combined to land the No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8 seeds in some order, but the margins are close. Those could be the committee’s most vigorous debates.

Saturday’s results temporarily put the committee in a bind with its travel commitments, but Marquette came to the rescue with its Big East title game victory. The Golden Eagles look like a lock to bus to Notre Dame, a choice that will have minimal (if any) impact on bracket integrity.

That leaves two flights to use for games involving Air Force and Denver without forcing those schools to meet each other. An Air Force-Ohio State matchup makes nearly as much sense as Marquette-Notre Dame.

As for Denver, it is positioned to either play host to or travel to Duke or North Carolina. The leftover ACC team ends up facing Johns Hopkins.

The RPI is from LaxPower’s RPI replica (which is inexact since it includes Hampton in its Division I data and the NCAA does not). Records against the top five, top 10 and top 20 and losses to teams outside the top 25 are based on performance against the current RPI rankings, not human polls). The strength of schedule data reflects the average RPI of each team’s 10 best opponents to date.

Automatic Qualifiers (9)

Maryland owns the top RPI, the top strength of schedule, the most top-five wins, the most top-10 wins and the most top-20 wins. Choosing the No. 1 seed is the easiest task for this year’s committee. … Not to rain on Albany’s well-deserved parade, but only three of its 14 victories came against teams with winning records and owns just one victory over the projected field (Yale). The Great Danes are getting seeded, but the committee could bump them lower than this projection.

Towson put both Drexel and Massachusetts in 60-minute chokeholds in the Colonial tournament. The Tigers might be the least flashy team in the field, but they play to their identity about as well as anyone. They’ll be a tough out, even as they hit the road. … Patriot League champion Loyola’s two victories over Army look better after the Black Knights edged Notre Dame. Is it enough to avoid a trip to the Carrier Dome? It should be. …

Geographically, it would make sense for Ivy winner Yale to end up making the bus trip to Syracuse, but its 11th-hour RPI bump might get it placed at Albany or Penn State instead … Of the 18 current programs added to the Division I ranks since 2005, Marquette is only the second to appear in multiple NCAA tournaments (along with Bryant) and the first start-up program to do so. …

The committee could opt to save money and send Air Force up to Denver, but at significant cost to bracket integrity. In this case, look for the Falcons to fly east. … Bryant will make its fourth Division I tournament appearance in the last five years. Like in 2015, when it met Marist in a play-in game, the Bulldogs will face the Metro Atlantic champion. …

Monmouth is the only first-time tournament team this season thanks to its Metro Atlantic title. The Hawks, who debuted three years ago, are nearly certain certain to face Bryant on Wednesday.

At-Large Bids (12 teams/8 slots)

If Maryland at No. 1 is the easiest decision for this year’s committee, Syracuse at No. 2 shouldn’t be far behind. Whether the Orange, with its penchant for playing to its competition, can live up to that seeding is a far dicier question. … The numbers still favor Notre Dame, which is unlikely to fall below a No. 4 seed when the committee renders its verdict today. …

Mentioned this the other day with regard to Albany, but it holds true for Penn State: Since at least 2009, no team in the top six of the RPI has been sent on the road for a first-round game. The Nittany Lions should stay in Happy Valley for a postseason game for the second time in their history. … You can convincingly argue Ohio State as high as a No. 3 seed. The guess here is the Buckeyes get the No. 4 slot. …

Since 2009, only two teams in the top eight in both RPI and strength of schedule did not procure a first-round home game (2010 Johns Hopkins and 2014 Cornell). Johns Hopkins could be sent on the road, but there isn’t a great argument for it. … It’s looking like Denver will get a rematch with either Duke or North Carolina in the first round. …

North Carolina looks like a better candidate for a road game than Denver even with a head-to-head victory. … Duke extinguished any doubt about its tournament chances early on this afternoon, thrashing Boston University. The Blue Devils are most likely to see Denver or Hopkins in the first round … Put simply, the loss to Delaware is the biggest difference between Rutgers and Duke. …

Who do you bump out of the field to include Army? All eight projected at-large teams have better RPI figures and superior schedule strengths, and none of them have a loss anywhere near as damaging as the Black Knights’ stumble at Navy. The numbers say Joe Alberici’s bunch just misses out. … Hofstra just doesn’t have the resume to get in this year. … Same goes for Boston University, even if it beats Duke today.

Projected Bracket

A few reminders on bracket construction:

• The committee seeds the top eight teams and then divvies up the unseeded teams based on geography in an attempt to limit air travel.

• Conference rematches are to be avoided in the first round.

• Quarterfinal host schools (in this year’s case, Hofstra) are funneled into their own site.

• Of the nine automatic qualifiers, the two with the weakest profiles are assigned to the preliminary round game the Wednesday before the first round. At-large teams are not selected for play-in games.
