1) I just ran my model, and this is what it spit out. Lots of movement yesterday- Florida is out of my bracket for the first time this season now and they're in genuine bubble trouble. Vanderbilt makes their first move in since January. I'd consider any team on the top 7 seed lines a lock at this point, and any teams on the 8 or 9 lines as teams that should be in. After that, the bubble begins.
2) Notable bubble games today:
Xavier @ Seton Hall- The Pirates will be very close to  a lock if they win this one.
Houston @ Connecticut- Houston is better than their RPI suggests, but the Huskies will probably be out of my field with a loss.
Duke @ Pittsburgh- Pittsburgh can probably avoid real bubble danger if the win this.

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

 Moving In: VCU, Vanderbilt
Moving Out: Florida, Butler
Removed From Consideration: None

 First Four Out: Florida, Butler, Alabama, George Washington

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: (Texas/Xavier),  Stephen F.

The biggest game of the day on Friday was Northern Iowa's loss to Drake in the Arch Madness quarterfinals. I have kept the Panthers as the last team in the field for now, but it's going to be a long wait for them until Selection Sunday. Most of their resume comparisons haven't made the tournament, although their NET remains solid. A massive day awaits today, with nearly every bubble team in action. Updates will be daily from now until Selection Sunday. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  San Diego State 2:  Dayton ,  Florida State, Maryland, Seton Hall 3: Villanova, Creighton, Duke, Michigan State 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: BYU, Butler, Penn State, Iowa 6: Wisconsin, Michigan, Auburn, Colorado 7: West Virginia, Houston, Illinois, Virginia 8: St. Mary's, Arizona, Marquette, Oklahoma 9: Texas Tech, Rutgers, USC, Florida 10: Xavier, LSU,  East Tennessee State , Providence 11: Indiana, Wichita State, Texas, (Arizona State/Richmond) 12: (P

The last quiet bubble day of conference tournament week is done, with six more bids punched. Robert Morris moves into the field for St. Francis PA after their win in the NEC title game. I was supposed to be heading to Madison Square Garden for the Big East tournament tomorrow and likely up to Cambridge for the Ivy League tournament this weekend. I've cancelled my trip to New York, and the Ivy League tournament has been cancelled with Yale given the conference's berth in March Madness with their regular season title. 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: Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers 9: USC, Marquette, LSU, Providence 10: Florida,  East Tennessee State , Indiana, Texas Tech 1
