Bracketology 3/7/19

It was a night to forget for many bubble teams, as Baylor, Ohio State, Florida, NC State and Georgetown all suffered damaging losses. Baylor and Ohio State are probably fine, but Florida and NC State are putting themselves in quite a dangerous situation. It's worse for the Hoyas, as Georgetown's blowout at the hands of DePaul has moved them a ways out of the field for now. There were some bubble winners though- Seton Hall got a huge win over Marquette, Clemson won a squeaker at Notre Dame and Creighton beat Butler in OT. For now, I think the realistic bubble begins at Texas and ends at Creighton. That leaves 13 teams for 10 spots- although my guess is we will have 2-3 bid stealers, making it 13 teams for 7-8 spots come Selection Sunday.
