4 days of basketball have come and gone and not a ton of action as far as Bracketology goes. A lot of teams that were expected to win did. And the ones that did probably did not move too much because of just one loss. Big weekend of games ahead though!
MY PROJECTED FIELD OF 68
(changes in italics)
LOCKS: Didn't move a lot of teams. Didn't add any teams either. Very close to adding some more if some teams.
These are in order so you know how I rank these teams right now.

AT-LARGE: The first part of this group is pretty much the same but the back half did see a shuffle. Welcome Illinois State to this group for the first time and goodbye to Tennessee for now. A 13-12 record ain't gonna cut it.
These are in order, so the last four teams will be playing in the "First Four" in Dayton.

BUBBLE: Because I want to keep track of more teams as we move a month until Selection Sunday, I added some teams to the end of this group. By no means am I confident that any of those teams will play their way into the field but I wanted to monitor them for a bit and see what happens.
These are in order, so to figure out the first teams out, head to the final team from the AT-LARGE category and look for all the teams behind them.

Minnesota, Northwestern, Arkansas, Michigan State, Wichita State, Syracuse, Michigan,
Seton Hall, Miami (FL), Illinois State, Wake Forest, Rhode Island,
Kansas State, TCU, Georgia, Clemson, Providence, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Marquette, Indiana, Georgetown, Houston, Auburn, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Nevada, Pittsburgh
