and:  Syracuse lost to #23 Florida State 90-101 =                                                            -8 points
Week #13: Syracuse lost to #2 Virginia 44-59 =                                                                           +9 points
Week #15: Arizona State lost to #17 Arizona 70-77 =                                                               +2 points
Week #16: Syracuse lost to #10 North Carolina 74-78 =                                                          +12 points
and: Syracuse lost to #5 Duke 44-60 =                                                                               +5 points
Week #17: Syracuse beat #18 Clemson 55-52 =                                                                         +11 points
Week #18: Syracuse lost to #12 North Carolina 59-78 =                                                          -5 points

That adds up to +66 for Arizona State, (based primarily on their early season wins over Xavier and Kansas) vs. +48 for Syracuse. if you want to you can say that since ASU's points were early and they've not performed well of late, you are going to pick Syracuse and then have them be the #11 seed that gets to the Sweet 16. Sounds good to me.
