2013 NCAA Tournament seed list published; La Salle is next-to-last at-large team in field

The NCAA has published its overall ranking of seeds in the NCAA Tournament. It's similar to the S-Curve, in that it compares all 68 teams in the field to each other.

It's a pretty close approximation to where the actual seeds ended up. But you'll see exactly where teams got bumped up or down a line in order to make second-round matchups. It looks like Villanova got moved up a seed line from a 10-seed, where it naturally fell, to a 9-seed.

Also take a look at where La Salle landed. The Explorers were the second-to-last at-large team brought into the field of 68. Middle Tennessee State was officially the "last team in." La Salle ranks No. 49 on the overall seed list, and MTSU ranks No. 50. All of the teams below that point are conference champions.

Here's the ranking. I've noted conference champions and at-large teams along the way.
