The two biggest pieces of news in the last few days was Houston losing their first game of the year at Temple and Creighton suffering a massive late collapse against Marquette. That's really not what the Bluejays needed, as they've assembled a really bland profile. There's a lot of those bland profiles at the bubble- Clemson, Washington, Butler etc.

The game I'm most excited for is Gonzaga at San Francisco. I was thinking of going but after the Dons' great start ticket prices rose from $40 to over $100, so I'll be watching it at home. But San Francisco can make a great at-large statement with a win.

1: Duke, Michigan, Virginia, Tennessee
2: Kansas, Michigan State, Gonzaga, Virginia Tech
3: Texas Tech, North Carolina, Nevada, Florida State
4: Oklahoma, Houston, Marquette, Indiana
5: North Carolina State, Mississippi State, Wisconsin, Auburn
6: Buffalo, Villanova, Iowa State, Ohio State
7: LSU, Kentucky, Maryland, Iowa
8: Mississippi, Purdue, Nebraska, St. John's
9: Seton Hall, TCU, UCF, Minnesota
10: Arizona, Kansas State, Cincinnati, Louisville
11: Florida, Temple, (San Francisco/Clemson), (Syracuse/Texas)
12: North Texas, VCU, Murray State, Wofford
13: Lipscomb, Hofstra, Yale, Radford
14: Texas State, Montana, UC Irvine, Loyola Chicago
15: New Mexico State, Vermont, Lehigh, South Dakota State
16: Northern Kentucky, Abilene Christian, (Texas Southern/Rider), (Wagner/North Carolina A&T)

First Four Out: Arizona State, Alabama, Creighton, Washington
Next Four Out: Butler, North Texas, VCU, Utah State
Also Considered: Murray State, Northwestern, Fresno State, Vanderbilt, Belmont, Saint Louis

Big Ten: 10
ACC: 9
SEC: 8
Big 12: 7
Big East: 4
American: 3
WCC: 2
Mountain West:1
Pac-12: 1
MAC: 1

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...
