4 of the top 8 teams in my last seed list (Duke, Oklahoma, Arizona and Xavier) lost yesterday, leading to a lot of upheaval at the top of the seed list. This is reflected in two new 1 seeds (West Virginia and Virginia) and two new 2 seeds (Kansas and Purdue). Auburn joins the ranks of the protected seeds with a big win over Arkansas and is now projected to win the SEC. However, other SEC teams like Tennessee and Alabama are sliding. It was also a bad day for mid-major at-large bids: Boise State lost at Wyoming and St. Bonaventure lost at St. Joseph's.

1: Michigan State, Villanova, West Virginia, Virginia
2: Duke, Kansas, Oklahoma, Purdue
3: Texas Tech, Arizona, Seton Hall, Xavier
4: TCU, North Carolina, Auburn, Arizona State
5: Wichita State, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Arkansas
6: Creighton, Florida State, Florida, Gonzaga
7: Clemson, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Missouri
8: Notre Dame, Michigan, Butler, Miami (FL)
9: SMU, Rhode Island, Texas, St. Mary's
10: Nevada, UCLA, Baylor, Alabama
11: Houston, Boise State, (Syracuse/Utah), (Maryland/St. Bonaventure)
12: Middle Tennessee, Missouri State, Vermont, Northern Kentucky
13: New Mexico State, East Tennessee State, Murray State, South Dakota State
14: Louisiana-Lafayette, Montana, Bucknell, Northeastern
15: Buffalo, UC Santa Barbara, Lipscomb, Iona
16: Stephen F. Austin, Penn, (UNC Asheville/St. Francis (PA)), (Texas Southern/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: (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
