• Two weeks to go and there is nothing settled.  I believe the 4 teams on the #1 line will be there if they win out.  The only question would be if Georgetown wins out, how their final resume would match-up with Gonzaga or Kansas.  The ceiling for New Mexico is probably a 2, but has anyone noticed they have 4 more top 100 wins than any other team?  Louisville is streaking and I count the loss to Duke as .5 because it was with out Gorgui Dieng.  That is enough to get them ahead of Florida and Michigan. 
• Teams that could use some additional top 100 wins to maintain their current spot would be Michigan State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Ohio State and Butler.
• Conference tournaments start today, so the watch for Bubble Shrinkers and the Annual Weakening of the 14-16 seeds starts.
