1) Wisconsin gets a huge win @Iowa and is nearing lock territory. VCU takes a bad loss at George Mason and falls out, Butler re-enters for the first time in a couple of weeks in their spot. The much anticipated Xavier/Villanova game didn't change my top line, although it made me feel pretty strongly about those 4 being the #1 seeds right now.

1: Kansas, Villanova, Xavier, Oklahoma
2: Oregon, Virginia, Miami (FL), Michigan State
3: North Carolina, Maryland, West Virginia, Utah
4: Kentucky, Duke, Iowa, Iowa State
5: Dayton, Purdue, Baylor, Arizona
6: Texas A&M, California, Texas, Indiana
7: Notre Dame, USC, Colorado, Wisconsin
8: Texas Tech, South Carolina, St. Joseph's, Providence
9: Oregon State, Wichita State, Seton Hall, Connecticut
10: Pittsburgh, Tulsa, Florida, Syracuse
11: Monmouth, (Michigan/St. Bonaventure), St. Mary's, (Cincinnati/Butler)
12: Arkansas-LR, Temple, San Diego State, Valparaiso
13: Chattanooga, Akron, Hawaii, Stony Brook
14: Yale, UNC-Wilmington, IPFW,  UAB
15: Belmont, Stephen F. Austin, New Mexico State, Winthrop
16: Weber State, North Florida, (Wagner/Bucknell), (Hampton/Texas Southern)

Moving In: Butler
Moving Out: VCU
Removed From Consideration: Creighton, Valparaiso

Well, in the unlikely event that there is an NCAA tournament, here's my projection for it. Stanford really hurt themselves with their loss to Cal, their SOR is almost unprecedentedly bad for an at-large team. Xavier made things really interesting with a loss to DePaul, they're my last team in. Also out west, Colorado continued a massive slide with a loss to Washington State. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers, USC 9: Marquette, Colorado, LSU, Providence 10: Florida, Indiana,  East Tennessee State , Texas Tech 11: Wichita State,  Utah State , Arizona State, (Richmond/Cincinnati) 12: (Texa...

NFL Picks: Week 1

NFL Picks Week 1: -$1810 My NFL Picks were my most popular feature last year, so I'm bringing them back for 2013.

Game 1: Baltimore @ Denver -8.5 This is the first time in a while that the defending Super Bowl champs haven't opened at home, which could play in to the Raven's psyche here. Denver is out for blood after being eliminated by the Ravens last year in the divisional round. I'm picking line value, not the spot, here so I'm going Baltimore for 2. Baltimore +8.5 (3 units) -$330 Game 2: New England @ Buffalo +10 New England has been the center of focus this offseason, between Aaron Hernandez and Tim Tebow. However, Tom Brady is still an elite quarterback, and he can make plays even with Hernandez and Gronk out. The Bills have perhaps the murkiest QB situation in the league with Manuel and Tuel. I'm tempted to lay units on New England...
