Gona start posting in this thread. It's much better than my crappy thread.
WAC - Louisiana Tech (1) - Starting to receive votes in the AP and Coaches poll. Keep winning and they might end up in the Top 25. Big games on Feb. 28 - Utah State, March 7 - New Mexico State, March 9 - Denver. All three are in the top 4 of the WAC
Sun Belt - Middle Tennessee (1) - Another team receiving votes in the polls. Just keep winning.
WCC - Gonzaga, Saint Mary's (2) - Saint Mary's has lost both matchups to Gonzaga. However, they have two HUGE games coming up, Feb. 21 - BYU, Feb. 23 - Creighton. Win these two, and the Gaels are in, but lose both, and the selection committee will be very wary of their profile.
Bubble - BYU - Three Big games in a row: Feb. 19 - Utah State, Feb. 21 - Saint Mary's, Feb. 28 - Gonzaga. Win all three, and they are in. Lose all three, becomes very dicey
SWAC - Southern University (1)
Summit - South Dakota State (1) - 3 teams fighting for the league title (NDSU, SDSU, and Western Illinois). This will be a fun conference tournament to watch.
Southern - Davidson (1)
Southland - Stephen F. Austin (1) - Another conference loss, and now they are tied with Northwestern State for the conference lead.
SEC - Missouri, Florida, Ole Miss (3)
Bubble - Alabama, Kentucky - Kentucky appears to be falling apart without Nerlens. This team has not top 50 wins due to Ole Miss falling out of the RPI top 50. Alabama has not defeated any major opponents. It just shows how weak the conference is.
Patriot - Bucknell (1)
No more Bubble room for the Patriot league. Lehigh losing to Colgate and Bucknell to Lafayette ened any At- Large consideration for this conference.
Pac-12 - Arizona, UCLA, Oregon (3)
Bubble: ASU, Colorado, California - Well, this is one crazy bubble in the Pac-12. Both ASU and Colorado have lost to Utah, ASU defeated Colorado after a two game losing streak, Colorado beats Arizona and Oregon (No Artis playing though) then loses to ASU, and Cal defeats UCLA, and Arizona. Need another week to sort this out.
Mountain West - New Mexico, UNLV, San Diego State, Colorado State, (4)
Bubble: Boise State - Just cannot seem to win the Big games. Still on the bubble due to their upcoming games (Air Force, Colorado State, SDSU, UNLV). Win those games, and you are in.
Northeast - Robert Morris (1)
OVC - Belmont (1) - Have now lost two conference games, and in the process, any chance for an At-Large bid. They get to play Ohio in Bracket Busters, but wont help them in the At-Large conversation.
MEAC - Norfolk State (1) - Unblemished conference record.
Missouri Valley - Creighton, Wichita State (2)
Bubble: Indiana State, Illinois State - The "other ISU" is a very confusing team. Beat Creighton and Wichita State, then lose to Missouri State and Bradley? They play Wichita State one more time, after that, no one of value. Need to win that game. I've added Illinois State due to their recent winning ways. They have won 7 out of their last 8 games, which included a win at Creighton. They will be very dangerous in the MVC Tourney.
MAAC - Niagara (1)
MAC - Akron (1) - Unblemished conference record. Have two important games in a row, North Dakota State and Ohio. Win both, and an At-Large conversation might become more reasonable.
Bubble: Ohio - Huge game, Feb.27 - Akron.
Horizon - Valparaiso (1) Lost to Detroit, which is its major competitor in the conference.
Ivy - Harvard (1) - Beat Princeton head to head, giving Harvard sole possession of the Ivy League.
CAA - Northeastern (1)
Conference USA - Memphis (1) - Looking like they would get an At-Large invite if they were to lose in the conference tournament.
Big Ten - Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan State, Ohio State, Minnesota (6)
Bubble: Illinois - Starting to hit their threes again. Big wins against Indiana, and Minnesota makes Illinois a lot safer in terms of selection. Just don't have a let down again.
Big West: Long Beach State (1)
Big Sky - Montana (1) - Lost the second head to head to Weber State.
Big South - Charleston Southern (1)
Big East - Syracuse, Marquette, Louisville, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Georgetown (7)
Bubble: St. Johns, Villanova - Big win against UCONN by Villanova. St. John's struck out for a big time against Syracuse and Louisville
Big 12 - Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State (3)
Bubble: Oklahoma, ISU, Baylor - All three stay on the bubble. That is all.
Atlantic Sun - Mercer (1)
ACC - Duke, North Carolina State, Miami (3)
Bubble: North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland - Virginia's bad losses are SO BAD that they have to stay on the bubble. Losing to Delaware and Old DOminion are horrid. Two huge games on Feb. 19 - Miami and Feb. 28- Duke. North Carolina seems to have righted the ship. Good win against Virginia. Have a very easy schedule until they meet Duke in their last game. Maryland makes no sense. Lose to FSU and Virginia, then beat Duke. They have a very easy schedule, and could go on a 7 game win streak. Though, I doubt this will happen.
Atlantic 10 - Butler, VCU, Saint Louis (3) -
Bubble: La Salle, Temple, Massachusets, Charlotte- La Salle is the most safe. Gigantic bubble game against Temple. Temple has big games against La Salle, Charlotte, and VCU. They have to win all three to be in. UMASS has a big game against Butler on March 7th. Really cannot lose another game. Charlotte has a big bubble game against Temple. They also cannot lose another game. Hopefully by the end of next week, this will sort itself out.
America East - Stony Brook (1)
57 Locks. 23 Bubble teams for 11 spots.
