Bubble winners today included Florida (over Auburn), Mississippi State (over South Carolina) and Louisville (over Virginia Tech) while losers included LSU (to Georgia), Baylor (to TCU) and Utah (to USC). I kept LSU in for now, I know that's an unpopular opinion but they have so many good wins right now and Washington's predictive metrics are worrying. A lot of SEC teams in the middle of the bracket, Atlanta will be fun.

1: Virginia, Xavier, Villanova, Kansas
2: Duke, Auburn, Purdue, Michigan State
3: North Carolina, Cincinnati, Tennessee, Texas Tech
4: Wichita State, Clemson, Arizona, West Virginia
5: Ohio State, Gonzaga, Rhode Island, Michigan
6: Kentucky, Nevada, Texas A&M, Houston
7: Creighton, Alabama, Missouri, Florida State
8: Arkansas, Oklahoma, Florida, Arizona State
9: TCU, Seton Hall, Virginia Tech, Kansas State
10: St. Mary's, Miami (FL), Middle Tennessee, Butler
11: North Carolina State, Providence, St. Bonaventure, (Texas/Mississippi State)
12: (Syracuse/LSU), Loyola Chicago, New Mexico State, Louisiana
13: Vermont, Buffalo, Murray State, South Dakota State
14: Montana, UNC Greensboro, Northern Kentucky, Northeastern
15: Bucknell, UC Santa Barbara, Florida Gulf Coast, Canisius
16: Penn, Wagner, (Nicholls State/UNC Asheville), (Bethune Cookman/Arkansas Pine Bluff)

First Four Out: Washington, Louisville, Baylor, USC
Next Four Out: Georgia, Temple, UCLA, Boise State
In Consideration: Western Kentucky, Utah, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Marquette

Moving In: Mississippi State, Northeastern, Canisius, UNC Greensboro, Arkansas Pine Bluff
Moving Out: Baylor, Charleston, Rider, East Tennessee State, Southern

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...
