As expected, there were massive changes up and down the bubble last night. This seed list is very preliminary- tonight or tomorrow I will take a dive through all the resumes and move some things around. For now, I have moved Alabama and St. John's out on the backs of their 3rd straight loss. Both teams need to win their first tournament game, against Mississippi and DePaul, respectively. I kept Belmont in despite their loss to Murray State, making the OVC a 2 bid league. I'm really not sure what to do with the Bruins as their resume is very different from their bubble compatriots. I also moved North Carolina up to the 1 line after their win over Duke, although I will look at the ordering of the top 6 teams in more detail. A busy slate of conference tournament action awaits, as 3 more bids will be punched today.

1: Virginia, Gonzaga, North Carolina, Duke
2: Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan State, Michigan
3: Texas Tech, LSU, Houston, Purdue
4: Kansas, Florida State, Kansas State, Virginia Tech
5: Wisconsin, Buffalo, Maryland, Mississippi State
6: Auburn, Marquette, Wofford, Cincinnati
7: Iowa State, Villanova, Nevada, Louisville
8: Iowa, Oklahoma, VCU, Syracuse

10: Washington, Utah State, Minnesota, Ohio State
11: TCU, Florida, Clemson, North Carolina State
12: (Temple/Texas), (Belmont/Arizona State), Murray State, Lipscomb
13: New Mexico State, UC Irvine, Vermont, Hofstra
14: Yale, Southern Miss, Georgia Southern, Radford
15: Montana, Wright State, Colgate, Nebraska Omaha
16: Sam Houston State, Bradley, (Prairie View A&M/Norfolk State), (St. Francis PA/Siena)
First Four Out: St. John's, Alabama, Indiana, Georgetown
Next Seven Out: Creighton, Furman, Lipscomb, UNC Greensboro, St. Mary's, Xavier, Memphis

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. Austin,  Yale ,  Liberty 13:  Akron,  Vermo

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
