The main result in Thursday's action was Michigan's win over Wisconsin- the Wolverines have improved their stock significantly since their home loss to Ohio State and are now away from the main bubble circus. Wisconsin has tumbled from the AP top 10 to a 7 seed, and has surrendered sole possession of first place in the Big Ten for the first time in weeks.

VCU and California are the only teams of note playing tonight, although both have the high-risk low-reward situation of playing competent teams (Richmond and Stanford, respectively) on the road.

1: Villanova, Kansas, Gonzaga, Baylor
2: North Carolina, Florida State, Louisville, Oregon
3: Arizona, Duke, Kentucky, Florida
4: Butler, Purdue, UCLA, Virginia
5: Maryland, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Creighton
6: Notre Dame, SMU, Minnesota, St. Mary's
7: Xavier, Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech
8: South Carolina, USC, Dayton, Northwestern
9: Michigan State, Michigan, Iowa State, VCU
10: Arkansas, Miami (FL), Wichita State, California
11: Kansas State, Seton Hall, (TCU/Syracuse), (Tennessee/Illinois State) 
12: Middle Tennessee, UNC Wilmington, Vermont, UT-Arlington
13: Belmont, Nevada, Princeton, 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: Wake Forest, Clemson, Providence, Georgetown
Next Four Out: Marquette, Mississippi, Georgia Tech, Indiana

Moving In: UC Irvine
Moving Out: UC Davis
Removed From Consideration: Texas A&M, Memphis

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
