Minnesota beats Penn State on a neutral court last night. As a result, Penn State's NET ranking improves from 49 to 47, while Minnesota's declines from 56 to 57. Hopefully the selection committee throws NET in the trash. The Eye projection model is derived from the overall seed list released the last two years. The bottom 18 are automatic qualifiers that need to win or did win their respective conferences to secure a bid.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Seton Hall in and, to my surprise, UNCG bubbles up as well. Texas remains in at 16-16, buoyed by 5 quad 1 wins I guess. Toledo and Creighton move out. The conversation should also be over for St. John's, Indiana and NC State. Ohio State still alive but needs another win. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Given the way the numbers fall, the last four in would all play-in on the 12 line.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Wednesday was a tough day for both Clemson and Oklahoma.

Ugly loss at Oklahoma last night. As of today, the model projects the top 50 seeds (listed below) as making the tournament whether they win their conference or not. The model indicates Wofford, New Mexico State and now Belmont would get at-larges, if need be. The bottom 18 are automatic qualifiers that won't make it unless they win their respective conferences.<br />
<br />
<u>Bubble Talk</u><br />
Minnesota with a huge win over Purdue, possibly solidifying 8 bids for the Big Ten. Furman enters the field. Toledo slipping. North Carolina State still on the outside. Given the way the numbers fall, the last four in would all play-in on the 12 line.<br />

As of today, the model </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">projects the top 49 seeds (listed below) as making the tournament whether they win their conference or not. The bottom 19 are automatic qualifiers that won't make it unless they win their respective conferences. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The last two at-large bids would go to Alabama and San Francisco. Given the way the numbers fall, the last four in would all play-in on the 12 line. The model indicates Wofford and New Mexico State would get in as at-larges regardless of whether they stumble in their conferences. Florida and Seton Hall re-enter the field. Toledo hanging on despite the home loss to Buffalo. North Carolina State still not even close with an RPI of 99. </span><br />
