If they win out during the regular season they will be seeded in the top four and the NCAA will try to give them the easiest path to the championship, The NCAA wants fans in the seats. Over the years the NCAA has done some pretty bad things come selection time both with bids and seeding (especially on the mens side). That said, Stony Brook will probably be deserving of a top 4 spot. There schedule is not too difficult but they have a handful of decent teams this year(USC, Northwestern, Towson, Penn State, Hopkins). Anything more than one loss and they should not get a top 4 seed. When I look at the top 15 or so teams I don't see many going undefeated,
