4 more bids were punched last night- Loyola Chicago took their fate in their own hands and will not be sweating it out on Sunday. Radford made an insane NBA 3 to seal their bid and Lipscomb survived a furious comeback from FGCU. Michigan had an extremely impressive win over Purdue to win the Big Ten Tournament- I saw all four Michigan games this week in person, and they look incredibly dangerous- they're deep, big, and have lots of guys who can shoot 3s.

I feel pretty uneasy about the 2 and 3 lines- for now, I've moved Auburn and Cincinnati up to a 2 and Michigan State and North Carolina to a 3, but those teams are all very close in my eyes.


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

First Four Out: Baylor, Louisville, LSU, Syracuse
Next Four Out: Washington, Boise State, Oklahoma State, Mississippi State
In Consideration: Nebraska, Utah, Penn State, Georgia, Notre Dame

Moving In: Texas, East Tennessee State, Lipscomb
Moving Out: UNC Greensboro, Florida Gulf Coast

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...
