A lot of movement in the protected seeds recently- Michigan State, Kansas, Marquette and Virginia Tech all lost in the last 2 days and are trending downwards. This is good news for Kentucky, Purdue and Iowa State, among others, who are strengthening their grips on their pods. At the bubble, the biggest news was probably Utah State's win at Fresno State which led to me jumping them into the field. The Aggies might have just picked up their biggest win of the year although they have a tricky game coming up on Saturday at San Diego State. The 2 bubble games I'm really going to be keeping my eye on in the next few days are on Thursday, where Wofford travels to East Tennessee State (a Q1 opportunity) and Houston goes to UCF.

2: Michigan, Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan State
3: Houston, Kansas, Purdue, Louisville
4: Iowa State, Marquette, Virginia Tech, Nevada
5: Wisconsin, Kansas State, Florida State, Iowa
6: Villanova, Mississippi State, Texas Tech, Maryland
7: Auburn, Cincinnati, LSU, St. John's
8: Buffalo, Baylor, Ohio State, TCU
9: Mississippi, Indiana, Washington, Syracuse
10: North Carolina State, Minnesota, Texas, Oklahoma
11: Wofford, Arizona State, Nebraska, Lipscomb
12: (Alabama/Utah State), (VCU/Florida), Davidson, Belmont
13: New Mexico State, Hofstra, Vermont, South Dakota State
14: Yale, Old Dominion, Radford, Northern Kentucky
15: Georgia State, Loyola Chicago, Montana, UC Irvine
16: Bucknell, Sam Houston State, (Rider/Robert Morris), (Prairie View A&M/Norfolk State)

 First Four Out: UCF, Seton Hall, UNC Greensboro, Butler
Next Six Out: Temple, Davidson, Arkansas, Belmont, San Francisco, Creighton

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: -$1810 My NFL Picks were my most popular feature last year, so I'm bringing them back for 2013.

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...
