A good deal of bubble movement in the last two days as Kansas State and Texas Tech move in due to wins over fellow Big 12 bubble teams Oklahoma State and TCU, while losses cause California and Miami (FL) to drop out. Elsewhere, VCU is in serious bubble trouble after a loss to Fordham, and South Carolina is within striking distance of a protected seed now after a win against Florida. A win at Rupp this weekend might put them on the 3 line.

1: Villanova, Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky
2: Gonzaga, Florida State, Creighton, Butler
3: UCLA, North Carolina, Louisville, Arizona
4: Oregon, Virginia, Florida, Notre Dame
5: Duke, South Carolina, Cincinnati, West Virginia
6: Minnesota, Maryland, St. Mary's, Xavier
7: Wisconsin, Purdue, SMU, Northwestern
8: Michigan State, Dayton, Virginia Tech, USC
9: TCU, Clemson, Arkansas, Middle Tennessee
10: UNC Wilmington, Iowa State, Wake Forest, Indiana
11: Seton Hall, Pittsburgh, Texas Tech, (Illinois/Kansas State)
12: (Georgia/VCU), Illinois State, Chattanooga, Vermont
13: Nevada, Princeton, Valparaiso, Monmouth
14: Akron, New Mexico State, Bucknell, Florida Gulf Coast
15: Belmont, Georgia Southern, Winthrop, North Dakota State
16: Weber State, Texas Southern, (UC Irvine/New Orleans), (Long Island/Morgan State)

First Four Out: Rhode Island, Mississippi, California, Marquette
Next Four Out: Miami (FL), North Carolina State, Wichita State, Utah

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...

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...
