#1 Seeds Remain Unchanged in Latest Projection

My four projected #1 seeds are holding steady. Biggest mover this week was taking Michigan State up to a #5 seed from a #8.  They did destroy Indiana over the weekend but their 18-3 record is still fairly soft (#29 RPI, #102 SoS, 1 win against the RPI top 50).

Bubble Talk

Kansas State surges into the field after yet another quality win - this time against TCU.  SMU, Georgia and Houston all sitting at 4 wins versus the RPI top 50.  Boise State hanging in there with a 15-4 record despite no wins against the RPI top 50.  UCLA on a three game losing streak and fading fast.
