A busy weekend of college hoops leads to many changes up and down the seed list. The biggest mover is Mississippi- the Rebels were not even on my radar screen 3 weeks ago but have rattled off 10 wins in a row to jump all the way up to a 6 seed. In a matter of 3 games, they've gone from 0 NET group 1 wins to 3. Also moving up is Villanova, who is off to a 4-0 start in the Big East and notched a nice Q1 win at Creighton over the weekend.

Some games that I'll be keeping an eye on this week include Nebraska at Indiana and Wisconsin at Maryland tonight, Virginia Tech at Virginia and LSU at Ole Miss tomorrow, and Iowa State at Texas Tech Wednesday. It'll be interesting to see whether Nebraska can turn it around, whether Virginia Tech can hang with the elite of the ACC, and if Texas Tech can actually challenge Kansas in the Big 12.

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

East Tennessee State punched their bid last night, I think the Buccaneers could've had a good shot at making the field as an at-large, but now they won't have to wait. I also moved some teams around on the 13 through 16 lines after taking a look at those resumes more in depth, Bradley moves up to a 14 seed in place of Hofstra. 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, St. Mary's, Virginia,  Houston 8: Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers 9: USC, Marquette, LSU, Providence 10: Florida,  East Tennessee State , Indiana, Texas Tech 11: Wichita State,  Utah State , Arizona State, (Xavier/Richmond) 12: (Stanford/Texas),  Stephen F.
