Another 1 seed fell last night, as Florida State was destroyed by Georgia Tech. Kansas jumps back up to the 1-line as a result, after only a 1 day absence. The win for the Yellow Jackets moves them up significantly, but they're still not in the field. Elsewhere, it continues to be a horrible year for non-Power 6 conferences as Rhode Island lost to Richmond, knocking them out of the field. Right now, I only have 3 non-Power 6 teams in that aren't leading their conference.

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

First Four Out: Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech, Texas Tech, Michigan
Next Four Out: Rhode Island, California, Wichita State, Illinois
Also Considered: Miami (FL), Utah, Georgia, Charleston, Mississippi, Alabama, UT-Arlington, Stanford, Nebraska, Houston, La Salle, Memphis, Penn State, Providence, Ohio State

Moving In: Tennessee, East Tennessee State
Moving Out: Rhode Island, Chattanooga
Removed From Consideration: None

Bids by Conference:
ACC: 11
Big Ten: 7
Big 12: 6
Big East: 6
SEC: 5
Pac-12: 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

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...
