The biggest bubble action on Sunday was Wichita State locking up a bid with their win over Illinois State. I have the Redbirds outside the field for now, but I'm going to be continuously running my model this week and as other bubble teams win or lose I could see Illinois State still getting in.

There's no bubble teams in action on Monday (although I guess UNC Wilmington has a very small chance at getting a bid if they lose to Charleston). Most of the intrigue lies between the 13 and 16 lines.

Starting tomorrow I will begin awarding locks and should-be-in status as well.

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

First Four Out: Illinois State, Rhode Island, Iowa, Illinois
Also Considered: Clemson, Indiana, Georgia Tech, Georgia

Moving In: Kansas State, Iona
Moving Out: Illinois State, Monmouth
Removed From Consideration: None 

Bids by Conference:
ACC: 10
Big Ten: 7
Big East: 7
Big 12: 6
SEC: 5
Pac-12: 4
Atlantic 10: 2
American: 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: (Texa...

NFL Picks: Week 1

NFL Picks Week 1: -$1810 My NFL Picks were my most popular feature last year, so I'm bringing them back for 2013. Like last year, my picks will be posted gradually during the week because I type them up on my commute. Here we go! Game 1: Baltimore @ Denver -8.5 This is the first time in a while that the defending Super Bowl champs haven't opened at home, which could play in to the Raven's psyche here. Denver is out for blood after being eliminated by the Ravens last year in the divisional round. I'm picking line value, not the spot, here so I'm going Baltimore for 2. Baltimore +8.5 (3 units) -$330 Game 2: New England @ Buffalo +10 New England has been the center of focus this offseason, between Aaron Hernandez and Tim Tebow. However, Tom Brady is still an elite quarterback, and he can make plays even with Hernandez and Gronk out. The Bills have perhaps the murkiest QB situation in the league with Manuel and Tuel. I'm tempted to lay units on New England...
