1) Only one change among the at-large teams, as Marquette's win over Seton Hall jumps them into my field for the first time this year while NC State falls out thanks to a loss at Boston College. Considering how brutal the rest of the ACC is, that was a loss the Wolfpack really couldn't afford. Elsewhere, Dayton and Arkansas fall perilously close to the cutline with bad losses to UMass and Mississippi State, helping out the likes of Illinois and Texas Tech.

1: Villanova, Kansas, Kentucky, Baylor
2: Gonzaga, Florida State, Creighton, UCLA
3: North Carolina, Butler, Xavier, West Virginia
4: Notre Dame, Louisville, Duke, Florida
5: Virginia, Arizona, Maryland, Oregon
6: Minnesota, Cincinnati, St. Mary's, Purdue
7: Wisconsin, Clemson, USC, SMU
8: South Carolina, TCU, Northwestern, Virginia Tech
9: Michigan State, Pittsburgh, Indiana, Illinois
10: Iowa State, Miami (FL), Seton Hall, Texas Tech
11: Dayton, (Arkansas/VCU), (Wake Forest/Marquette), Wichita State
12: Middle Tennessee, UNC Wilmington, UT-Arlington, East Tennessee State
13: Boise State, Oakland, Vermont, Princeton
14: Ohio, Monmouth, Florida Gulf Coast, Lehigh
15: New Mexico State, UNC Asheville, Belmont, Fort Wayne
16: Weber State, UC Irvine, (North Carolina Central/Texas Southern), (Houston Baptist/Wagner)

First Four Out: North Carolina State, Rhode Island, Kansas State, Michigan
Next Four Out: Oklahoma State, California, Central Florida, Georgia
Also Considered: Temple, Texas A&M, Providence, Illinois State, Mississippi, Houston, Nebraska, Ohio State, Colorado

Bids By Conference:
ACC (11), Big Ten (8), Big 12 (6), Big East (6), Pac-12 (4), SEC (4), Atlantic 10 (2), American (2), West Coast (2)

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. Like last year, my picks will be posted gradually during the week because I type them up on my commute. Here we go! 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...
