3 of the top 5 teams on the seed list fell at home last night, although none of them moved seed lines. Purdue's grasp on a 1 seed is now much more tenuous- they'll probably drop if they lose in East Lansing on Saturday, while the Spartans may move up to a 2 seed with a win. On the bubble, Kansas State and Virginia Tech got big wins against fellow bubble teams Texas and NC State and move into the field.

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

First Four Out: Mississippi State, North Carolina State, Marquette, Georgia
Next Four Out: Syracuse, St. Bonaventure, SMU, Utah

In Consideration: South Carolina, New Mexico State, UCLA, Loyola Chicago, Western Kentucky, Nebraska, Louisiana
On the Brink: BYU, Baylor, Temple, Maryland, Colorado, Buffalo, Notre Dame, Oregon, UCF, Boston College

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...
