Georgia got a nice win at home against Florida to move them into the field. North Carolina is out of the protected seeds for the first time all season in the wake of their 3-game skid, although a home date with Pittsburgh on Saturday should allow the Tar Heels to snap out of the skid. Tonight, I'll be keeping my eye on Butler @ Marquette. With 70% of the Big East in the field, it's going to be a struggle for bubble teams like these two to rack up wins.

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

First Four Out: Syracuse, Virginia Tech, South Carolina, LSU
Next Four Out: Washington, SMU, Western Kentucky, Utah
Also Considered: Notre Dame, UCLA, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, New Mexico State, Mississippi State, Penn State, Oregon, Baylor, St. Bonaventure, Maryland

Moving In: Georgia, Rider
Moving Out: LSU, Iona

Bids by Conference:
SEC: 9
ACC: 8
Big 12: 7
Big East: 7
Big Ten: 4
American: 3
Pac-12: 3
Mountain West: 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
