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

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
