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
Moving Out: Notre Dame, Baylor, Missouri State, Towson, Belmont, Radford, Iona, Robert Morris, Hampton

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...
