For the first time in a while, we had a day with a lot of bubble teams losing on Thursday. Arizona State lost at home to Washington, Stanford lost at Oregon State and Wichita State lost at Memphis. I debated keeping Stanford in the field due to their high NET rating, but the pure wins and losses of their resume is a decent bit behind everyone else on the cutline. Arizona State is now in a bit of a tricky position and better beat Washington State on Saturday. LSU is also starting to make things interesting, as they're 3-6 in their last 9.

2: Dayton, Florida State, Maryland, Seton Hall
3: Villanova, Creighton, Duke, Michigan State

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, Northern Iowa, Wichita State, Texas
12: (Arizona State/Purdue), (Richmond/Utah State), Stephen F. Austin, Liberty
13: Yale, Vermont, Akron, New Mexico State
14: North Texas, Belmont, Colgate, Wright State
15: Hofstra, North Dakota State, UC Irvine, Little Rock
16: Radford, Eastern Washington, (St. Francis PA/Siena), (Prairie View A&M/North Carolina A&T)

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...
