It's back! I'm counting 15 "locks."

Tourney Bubble -- Saw this blog on another site. For those into bracketology, might want to add it your links.

Bracketology: Don't overreact to one game (CBS Sports)

 

I know the following statement will come as a shock: Fans tend to overreact to one game and view the world as if their team is the only one in existence.

People forget that Saturday's games are roughly 1/30th of a team's overall resume. It can have an impact, but nobody is moving three lines up or down the bracket based on one game now.

Not sure where to put this, but has anyone started a BSL group anywhere for the tournament?

 

Edit: Now I see ignore!

@GottliebShow #CommitteeProblems RT @jeffborzello: BYU guard Kyle Collinsworth tore his ACL last night. He is done for the season.

@bracketexpert By my count, we are down to 48 potential "bid stealers" left.

[Oriole85]

‏@bracketexpert Must wins today for: FSU, ILL/IND (very faint hopes anyways), MIZZ, STJ/PROV, ARK, CAL, MINN, WVA, XAV.

Lunardi's bubble (Insider)

 

The bubble (15 teams for 6 spots)

IN (6, in S curve order): 42. Nebraska, 43. Tennessee, 44. Saint Joseph's, 45. Dayton, 46. Brigham Young, 47. Providence
 

OUT (9, in S curve order): 69. Minnesota, 70. Florida St, 71. Southern Miss, 72. Arkansas, 73. California, 74. Missouri, 75. St. John's, 76. Green Bay, 77. Georgia

In theory, you can pretty much eliminate Arkansas, Cal, St. Johns, UW-GB. Hard to see them moving up since they aren't playing anymore games especially the latter two teams being further away from being "in."

Greg Shaheen, the former NCAA VP who ran this Tournament, just said at this point, the committee is basically with the at-large selections at this point.

Good article IMO on what it's like to be a committee member.

Not even half the automatics filled yet, but there's only a handful of bids really available.

@WCC_Commish Up and at it. Time to finish this off. We’ll start by “scrubbing” the seed list. #Selections @marchmadness
