The two teams the committee were getting the most heat for leaving out of their top 16, Cincinnati and Wisconsin, both lost today. Wisconsin's loss to Northwestern in Madison was huge for the Wildcats, as their bid was looking a bit in jeopardy after the loss to Illinois earlier in the week. Elsewhere in the Big Ten, Michigan is in my field for the first time in a few weeks as they knocked off Indiana at Assembly Hall. I've got an interesting quirk in my bracket today- my first four teams out are all from the Big East!

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

First Four Out: Marquette, Seton Hall, Georgetown, Providence
Next Four Out: Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Illinois State, Mississippi

Moving In: Michigan, Boise State
Moving Out: Marquette, Nevada
Removed From Consideration: Nevada

Bids by Conference:
ACC: 12
Big 12: 7
Big Ten: 7
Pac-12: 5
Big East: 4
SEC: 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
