Another busy weekend has changes all throughout the bracket. At the bubble, Houston is the biggest winner as they got a huge win against Wichita State to propel them into the field. The American now has 4 teams in, as many as the Big Ten and more than the Pac-12. The Atlantic 10 is continuing their worst year in memory, as St. Bonaventure dropped their second game in a row. Rhode Island looks quite safe but to have a conference as perennially strong as the A-10 looking like a 1-bid league is striking.

1: Villanova, Virginia, Duke, Purdue
2: Kansas, West Virginia, Xavier, North Carolina
3: Oklahoma, Cincinnati, Clemson, Texas Tech
4: Auburn, Arizona, Michigan State, Florida
5: Arizona State, Seton Hall, Ohio State, Creighton
6: Tennessee, Miami (FL), TCU, Rhode Island
7: Wichita State, Nevada, Texas, Louisville
8: Gonzaga, Texas A&M, St. Mary's, Kentucky
9: Providence, Michigan, Alabama, Florida State
10: Butler, Missouri, Houston, Arkansas
11: Georgia, USC, (Marquette/Kansas State), (Boise State/SMU)
12: Western Kentucky, New Mexico State, Louisiana, Murray State
13: East Tennessee State, Northern Kentucky, Vermont, Buffalo
14: South Dakota State, Loyola Chicago, Montana, UC Santa Barbara
15: Northeastern, Bucknell, Princeton, Florida Gulf Coast
16: Stephen F. Austin, Canisius (Winthrop/Wagner), (Texas Southern/North Carolina A&T)

First Four Out: Middle Tennessee, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Notre Dame
Next Four Out: North Carolina State, Syracuse, LSU, Washington
Also Considered: Western Kentucky, UCLA, South Carolina, Utah, New Mexico State, Oregon, BYU, Virginia Tech, Maryland, St. Bonaventure, Mississippi State, Minnesota, UCF, Colorado

Moving In: Houston, Kansas State, Loyola Chicago, Northeastern, Murray State, Winthrop, Canisius, Wagner, North Carolina A&T

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
