Maryland, Florida State moving up

West Virginia falls at Texas, Maryland moves up to the top line.    

Bubble Talk

Sorry Wisconsin, Xavier, and Wichita State - formula error is fixed.  Texas still on the outside looking in, but that big win last night inches them closer.  Purdue and Minnesota from the Big Ten out at this point.

Creighton surges to the 2 line

The weekend losses don't help the 1 seed dreams of San Diego State and Gonzaga.  Creighton continues to climb.    

Bubble Talk
Arkansas and USC are the last two into the field.  Obviously very fluid.  Minnesota has a chance for a statement win against Maryland this week.

Dayton moving up

The 1 seeds remain the same with San Diego State and Gonzaga still weighed down by very weak SOS.  Dayton moves up to the 2 line.  

Bubble Talk

First Bracketology of 2020



The Eye projection model is back with an updated formula derived from the overall seed list released the last two years.  As shocking as it sounds, 12 Big Ten teams are in the field as of today.

Bubble Talk
The most notable name in the First 4 out is defending champion Virginia. I have a hunch they will find a way into the field.
