We officially have our first bid stealer as Nevada got run out of the gym by San Diego State last night, I've moved the Aztecs in as a 12 seed. Falling out of the field at their expense is Louisville, Arizona State also moves out in favor of Middle Tennessee. Right now, I think there's 2 spots up for grabs in the field- I wouldn't be shocked to see UCLA, Oklahoma, Texas or USC left out but I think it's unlikely. I think that Louisville, Arizona State and Syracuse all have legitimate claims to be in while the four teams after them are a bit of a longer shot. Just for fun, I've included an NIT projection after the NCAA projection.

1: Virginia, Villanova, Kansas, Xavier
2: North Carolina, Duke, Purdue, Cincinnati
3: Michigan State, Tennessee, Michigan, Auburn
4: Wichita State, Gonzaga, West Virginia, Texas Tech
5: Arizona, Clemson, Ohio State, Kentucky
6: Arkansas, Houston, Florida, TCU
7: Texas A&M, Miami (FL), Seton Hall, Nevada
8: Rhode Island, St. Bonaventure, Missouri, Virginia Tech
9: Butler, North Carolina State, Providence, Florida State
10: Creighton, Alabama, Kansas State, UCLA
11: Oklahoma, (Texas/USC), Loyola Chicago, (St. Mary's/Middle Tennessee)
12: Western Kentucky, New Mexico State, San Diego State, Murray State
13: Vermont, Buffalo, Louisiana, South Dakota State
14: Montana, UNC Greensboro, Bucknell, Charleston
15: Stephen F. Austin, UC Irvine, Wright State, Iona
16: Penn, Lipscomb, (Radford/Hampton), (Texas Southern/LIU Brooklyn)

First Four Out: Louisville, Arizona State, Syracuse, Marquette
Next Three Out: Oklahoma State, Baylor, Notre Dame

Moving In: Middle Tennessee, San Diego State, UC Irvine
Moving Out: Arizona State, Louisville, UC Davis

1: Louisville, Arizona State, Syracuse, Marquette
2: Oklahoma State, Baylor, Notre Dame, Oregon
3: Penn State, Mississippi State, Nebraska, LSU
4: Georgia, Boise State, Utah, Washington

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
