I did a major re-evaluation of resumes yesterday, so despite the lack of games there's lots of movement in this update. Two ACC teams fall out, knocking the conference total down to 10, as Seton Hall and TCU take their place. There's lots of bubble intrigue in the SEC tomorrow, as the mess that is the middle of the conference largely plays each other. I think it's unlikely the SEC gets 5 teams in at the end of the day and nearly impossible it gets 6, although one of the SEC West teams outside the field could get hot in February.

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

First Four Out: Wake Forest, California, Wichita State, Michigan
Next Four Out: Texas Tech, Utah, Georgetown, Rhode Island
Also Considered: North Carolina State, Georgia, Illinois, Pittsburgh, Providence, Mississippi, Vanderbilt, Alabama, Syracuse, Auburn, Texas A&M, Stanford, Ohio State, Nebraska, Iowa, Memphis, UT-Arlington, Charleston, Houston, Penn State

Moving In: Seton Hall, TCU, Arkansas State
Moving Out: Wake Forest, North Carolina State, Georgia Southern
Removed From Consideration: None

Bids by Conference:
ACC: 10
Big Ten: 7
Big 12: 7
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: (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
