Last night was a huge one on the bubble- Providence jumps into the bracket for the first time in more than a month with a huge win @Creighton.  Other big bubble winners include Vanderbilt, who despite their hefty loss count is now in the First Four Out, and Syracuse who has climbed out of the first four. California lete a huge chance slip away as they blew a near-20 point lead against Oregon, and Tennessee moves out after a damaging home loss to Vanderbilt. A lighter slate tonight- from a bubble perspective I'll be keeping my eye on Nebraska/Michigan State.

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

First Four Out: Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, TCU
Next Four Out: Illinois, Georgia Tech, Mississippi, Clemson

Also Considered: Georgia, Texas Tech, Indiana, Rhode Island, Pittsburgh, Houston, Georgetown, Alabama, Ohio State

Moving In: Providence
Moving Out: Tennessee
Removed From Consideration: None

Bids by Conference:
ACC: 9
Big East: 7
Big Ten: 7  
Big 12: 6
Pac-12: 5
SEC: 4
Atlantic 10: 2
American: 2 
Missouri Valley: 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
