Blogging the bracket, part III

A few notes:

Switched a few auto bids, and adjusted Big East teams based on performances.

Added Memphis, deleted UW-Milwaukee.



DIDNT MOVE PURDUE. (Your welcome, Leneveu.)



Well, the bubble gods are being nice to quite a few teams this year. Through the first week of conference tournaments, we have exactly 0 bid stealers, and a number of bubble teams have either won their conference tournaments or fallen off the bubble. A recap of a few teams over the last 24 hours:

Baylor- lost badly to Oklahoma. They are out.

Nebraska- Lost to Okie st. They are also out

Okie St.- Beat Nebraska, back of the bubble

Butler- Won Horizon champ, off bubble

UW-Milwaukee- lost to Butler, off bubble

Conclusion: a lot of bubble teams are breathing easier tonight.



Current bubble softness, with 1 being very hard and 100 being very soft: 95.



In a normal year, teams with a profile as crappy as say, Alabama's would never dream of making it. But this year is different, and they have a real shot.
