re: Bracketology - UPDATED 3/15

Providence should be in IMO, beat Cinci twice, beat Pitt, and are 9-7 in the BE

Oklahoma State comes up big tonight. They are on a roll. They are likely in now.

LSU v Xavier in round 2

Wow, HUGE win for us.

BTW, New Mexico making me look good for putting them in by beating Utah to go tied for the Mountain West lead.

Bracket projections after Tuesday, March 3

NOTE: The last five in may not appear as such in the seedings, but teams had to be moved around on seeding lines and locations for logistical reasons. For example, New Mexico was an 11 on my board, but got moved to 12, swapping with Penn State. Florida State and Gonzaga also flipped.

Projected Auto Bids are in CAPS.

NOTE: UCLA is NOT the projected winner of the Pac-10.

to New Mexico. I also have them in. They are the hottest team in the MWC.

Well, the SWAC is definitely going to represent in Dayton. The MEAC's highest rated team is indeed Morgan State and they're far back, also. I do recognize that Al Sharpton may not like this.

Northern Iowa will NOT get an at-large bid. There's just no way. 10 other teams in front of them. I dunno what Lunardi is thinking either.

The only thing that changed for me is I upped Okie State to an 11. I'm keeping KSU in for now. Maryland could have had their spot...they blew it.

VT is history like Notre Dame and USC are. Just not enough.

Wow, HUGE win for us.

Hangin from a thread, dawg.

I goofed. They also beat New Mexico. Still doesn't get them over the hump. He so badly wants to punish the SEC, and I'm not sure why. First of all, Kentucky would be out before Florida, and Kentucky certainly should be on the bubble if Florida is.
