Bracketology 1/5/16
1) A considerable amount of movement has happened in the past 3 days, mainly on the bubble. North Carolina State and Texas Tech moved into the bracket with big wins over Virginia Tech and West Virginia respectively, and Rhode Island and Oklahoma State fell out as a result.
2) I have 12 of the 15 ACC teams in the field right now- I don't anticipate this will hold up, but I could definitely see 10 ACC teams getting in. It'll be interesting to see how the committee evaluates an ACC team that is 7-11 in conference, as no team that has gone 7-11 in conference has even been under serious bubble consideration in the past 5 years. In fact, only 6 teams with losing conference records have gotten at-larges in the last 5 years.
1: Baylor, Villanova, Kansas, Kentucky
2: Gonzaga, UCLA, Florida State, Butler
3: Creighton, North Carolina, Xavier, Duke
4: Louisville, Notre Dame, Florida, Oregon
5: Minnesota, Virginia, USC, Wisconsin
6: West Virginia, Arizona, St. Mary's, Cincinnati
7: Clemson, Pittsburgh, Arkansas, Maryland
8: SMU, Northwestern, Virginia Tech, South Carolina
9: Purdue, TCU, Seton Hall, Michigan State
10: Illinois, Indiana, Middle Tennessee, Miami (FL)
11: Wake Forest, (North Carolina State/Iowa State), UNC Wilmington, (Dayton/Texas Tech)
12: VCU, UT-Arlington, Wichita State, Boise State
13: Oakland, Vermont, Florida Gulf Coast, Akron
14: Yale, New Mexico State, Bucknell, North Dakota State
15: Samford, Weber State, North Carolina Central, Canisius
16: Jacksonville State, Texas Southern, (UC Davis/Southeastern Louisiana), (Mount Saint Mary's/Longwood)
First Four Out: Michigan, Rhode Island, Oklahoma State, Wichita State
Next Four Out: Providence, Marquette, Temple, Kansas State
Also Considered: Texas A&M, Central Florida, Ohio State, Mississippi, Colorado, Houston, Nebraska, Nevada, Georgia, California, Auburn
