As always, I had a lot of fun doing this. The real thing starts soon and we can put the guessing to rest. Hopefully my guesses rate well once again to validate those that follow me. Thanks from Jabesblog.

College Basketball Field of 68 - Bracket (March 15, 2014)
Thursday and Friday were two great days of basketball and provided a wealth of information regarding teams. With only two days remaining and most of that Conference Tournament Championships, the movement will be far less in the coming days. Here are some of the things I will be looking for.

- If Michigan or Wisconsin wins the Big 10 Tournament, they will fill the last #1 seed. Otherwise it will be anyone's best guess.
- If Iowa State beats Baylor for the Big 12 Title, they will be a #2. If not, Kansas probably holds the #2.
- A #2 Seed will go to whichever ACC team goes further between Virginia and Duke
- Louisville gets 1st dibs on the last #3, followed by San Diego State and Syracuse. Michigan State could also stake claim with a Big 10 Tourney Championship.
- Ohio State holds the last #4, but probably needs to beat Michigan to hold it. UCLA, Connecticut and Cincinnati are in line behind the Buckeyes.
- If VCU wins the Atlantic 10, it will likely get a #5 seed. Otherwise, the A-10's highest seed will likely be #6.
- My last 4 in are Dayton, SMU, Providence and BYU. There are a couple bid stealers left out there to watch in the SEC, ACC and A-10, but if none of those come to fruition, this will likely be my at-large field.

College Basketball Field of 68 - Bracket (March 14, 2014)
We are getting closer, just over two days until Selection Sunday. Thursday was moving day for the bottom 2/3 of the bracket, with tomorrow serving as a moving day for the upper half. I have updated the bracket assuming a Stanford win over Arizona State. If the Sun Devils comeback, I will flip the two teams on the 9 and 10 lines.
The Final #1 Seed: With Villanova losing, the final #1 seed is up for grabs. I have moved Michigan into the spot for now, but Syracuse, Kansas, Wisconsin and even Villanova are still all in play for that final #1 seed. Michigan and Kansas have more losses, but they were conference champions. Syracuse and Wisconsin would have to win their respective conference tournaments to be under #1 consideration.
The Bubble: As you can see in my bracket below, I have Providence and BYU as the final two teams in. I am torn on what the committee will do with BYU after such a significant injury. They are right on the cut-line as is. Providence has to defeat Seton Hall on Friday to hold their spot, but that win might be enough without winning the Big East Championship on Saturday. That is because a decent chunk of bubble teams fell by the wayside the past few days. Georgetown, St. John's, Utah, California and Arkansas all lost and are probably headed the way of the NIT. Bubble teams still alive include Minnesota, Florida State, Missouri and Green Bay. I would also not feel completely safe if I was SMU or St. Joseph's, who are my other first four teams.

2014 Mens College Basketball Conference Tournament Predictions (Bracket Practice)
2014 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Bracket Practice (Picking the Major Conference Tournaments)
Big 12 (March 12-15, Kansas City)
8 Oklahoma State over 9 Texas Tech
7 Baylor over 10 TCU
4 Iowa State over 5 Kansas State
8 Oklahoma State over 1 Kansas
7 Baylor over 2 Oklahoma
3 Texas over 6 West Virginia
4 Iowa State over 8 Oklahoma State
7 Baylor over 3 Texas
4 Iowa State over 7 Baylor
These teams are too closely bunched to go chalk, so why not a wild 4 days in Kansas City. Would a first game loss be enough for the committee to drop Kansas to a 3 seed? Would a title for Iowa State move them ahead of enough teams to garner a 2 seed? How high can Baylor or Oklahoma State go with a good run?
PAC 12 (March 12-15, Las Vegas)
8 Utah over 9 Washington
5 Colorado over 12 USC
7 Oregon over 10 Oregon State
6 Stanford over 11 Washington State
1 Arizona over 8 Utah
4 California over 5 Colorado
7 Oregon over 2 UCLA
3 Arizona State over 6 Stanford
1 Arizona over 4 California
7 Oregon over 3 Arizona State
1 Arizona over 7 Oregon
I think Arizona wants to make sure they secure a #1 seed, leaving nothing to chance. They will avenge losses to Cal and Oregon and lock-down the overall #3 seed on the seed list. I like how the Ducks are playing and think they want to prove to everyone they can beat UCLA when the Bruins are at full-strength. I also think a desperate Cal team comes through against Colorado in what might be the most important game of the tournament. A Cal win gives the PAC 12 a realistic chance at 7 teams, but would put Cal, Colorado and Stanford all in bubble territory if my picks would hold true.
ACC (March 12-16, Greensboro)
13 Notre Dame over 12 Wake Forest
10 Miami over 15 Virginia Tech
11 Georgia Tech over 14 Boston College
8 Maryland over 9 Florida State
13 Notre Dame over 5 Pittsburgh
7 NC State over 10 Miami
6 Clemson over 11 Georgia Tech
1 Virginia over 8 Maryland
4 North Carolina over 13 Notre Dame
2 Syracuse over 7 NC State
3 Duke over 6 Clemson
4 North Carolina over 1 Virginia
3 Duke over 2 Syracuse
3 Duke over 4 North Carolina
To be honest, I think Duke’s current resume is over-rated by some, but a run through the ACC would almost certainly give them a 2 seed. I think their road record and 2 bad losses prevent any chance of a #1. Syracuse could make a case for a #1 with a tournament title, but in all likelihood, the conference is playing for 2 and 3 seeds. I am never a big fan of the “we didn’t lose to anybody bad, but didn’t beat anyone either” resume that Pitt has. So why not throw in a loss against Notre Dame who has played well in recent conference tournaments to muddy the bubble waters a bit?!
AAC (March 12-15, Memphis)
7 Rutgers over 10 South Florida
8 Temple over 9 UCF
6 Houston over 3 SMU
2 Louisville over 7 Rutgers
1 Cincinnati over 8 Temple
5 Memphis over 4 Connecticut
2 Louisville over 6 Houston
5 Memphis over 1 Cincinnati
2 Louisville over 5 Memphis
Home court advantage will benefit Memphis, but Louisville will want to make sure they leave the conference with a nice parting gift. The Cardinals are trying to get up to a #3 seed and a more favorable location. A finals appearance will help Memphis, but the committee knows where these games are being played. Would a loss to Houston send SMU as far back as Dayton? I think the Mustangs are in, but that non-conference SOS is downright ugly.
Atlantic 10 (March 12-16, Brooklyn)
12 George Mason over 13 Fordham
9 St. Bonaventure over 8 LaSalle
5 Dayton over 12 George Mason
7 Richmond over 10 Duquesne
6 Massachusetts over 11 Rhode Island
1 St. Louis over 9 St. Bonaventure
5 Dayton over 4 St. Joseph’s
2 VCU over 7 Richmond
6 Massachusetts over 3 George Washington
1 St. Louis over 5 Dayton
2 VCU over 6 Massachusetts
1 St. Louis over 2 VCU
The Rams are the chique pick to win the A-10 Tourney, but I think the Billikens figured out a few defensive issues and are back on track. A #5 seed is awaiting the champion if this is the final. UMass would have an outside chance at a #5, but it would be more dependent on other results. These picks put Dayton in safe territory and move St. Joseph’s to the danger category. This will be by far the most important game of the tournament if the Flyers don’t stumble in their first game.
Big East (March 12-15, New York City)
8 Seton Hall over 9 Butler
7 Georgetown over 10 DePaul
1 Villanova over 8 Seton Hall
5 St. John’s over 4 Providence in 2OT
2 Creighton over 7 Georgetown
3 Xavier over 6 Marquette
1 Villanova over 5 St. John’s
2 Creighton over 3 Xavier
2 Creighton over 1 Villanova
We keep on waiting for some of the Big East bubble teams to go on a run and make a statement. The next 4 days provide that opportunity one last time. Once again though, I don’t see any of these teams coming through. Villanova and Creighton are the class of the league. I can see a potential St. John’s upset of Villanova, as they played them well a few weeks ago, but I am sticking with a team who has only lost to Syracuse and Creighton. If Villanova does lose the final, would they still get a #1 seed even though they lost to the same team 3 times? Can Creighton get up to the 2 line with a tournament title? I think it will take a lot for Creighton to move up, but they have a better chance than say, Louisville does.
SEC (March 12-16, Atlanta)
12 Auburn over 13 South Carolina
11 Vanderbilt over 14 Mississippi State
9 Texas A&M over 8 Missouri
5 Arkansas over 12 Auburn
7 LSU over 10 Alabama
11 Vanderbilt over 6 Ole Miss
1 Florida over 9 Texas A&M
4 Tennessee over 5 Arkansas
7 LSU over 2 Kentucky
3 Georgia over 11 Vanderbilt
1 Florida over 4 Tennessee
3 Georgia over 7 LSU
1 Florida over 3 Georgia
Bubble teams across the land have to wait until less than an hour before Selection Sunday to know whether a bid will be stolen by the Bulldogs. Fortunately, Georgia would have to beat the #1 team in the country and I don’t see Florida letting up. I think Tennessee will be the trickier game for the Gators. With Kentucky as the only lock in the bottom half of the bracket, a Wildcats loss to anyone will create a bid stealing scenario on Sunday afternoon.
Mountain West (March 12-15, Las Vegas)
8 Utah State over 9 Colorado State
7 Fresno State over 10 Air Force
6 Boise State over 11 San Jose State
1 San Diego State over 8 Utah State
4 UNLV over 5 Wyoming
2 New Mexico over 7 Fresno State
6 Boise State over 3 Nevada
4 UNLV over 1 San Diego State
2 New Mexico over 6 Boise State
2 New Mexico over 4 UNLV
Outside of a 10 minute stretch, the Lobos are probably playing the best basketball in the conference. It would be fitting to have round 3 against the Aztecs, but I have watched enough of these MWC Tourney’s to know that the home team does not go quietly. So before the bubble teams settle in on Sunday for the SEC Championship, they will have a Saturday date with the Mountain West Title game to sit through nervously. Again, I think the result is in their favor, as the Lobos are good enough to win a road Championship Game 2 years in a row.
Big Ten (March 13-16, Indianapolis)
9 Illinois over 8 Indiana
5 Ohio State over 12 Purdue
7 Minnesota over 10 Penn State
6 Iowa over 11 Northwestern
1 Michigan over 9 Illinois
4 Nebraska over 5 Ohio State
2 Wisconsin over 7 Minnesota
3 Michigan State over 6 Iowa
1 Michigan over 4 Nebraska
3 Michigan State over 2 Wisconsin
1 Michigan over 3 Michigan State
Can Michigan grab the final #1 seed with a win Sunday afternoon? I say yes, if Villanova has lost. The Big 10 double would likely do it, although I might see things differently. Michigan State comes in with a lot to prove, so I am begrudgingly taking them over Wisconsin and potentially knocking the Badgers down to a #3 seed. I think Nebraska/Ohio State could be a really fun in a dentist chair sort of way. Iowa and Minnesota really need multiple wins, but it will be tough for both.
Big 12 (March 12-15, Kansas City)
8 Oklahoma State over 9 Texas Tech
7 Baylor over 10 TCU
4 Iowa State over 5 Kansas State
8 Oklahoma State over 1 Kansas
7 Baylor over 2 Oklahoma
3 Texas over 6 West Virginia
4 Iowa State over 8 Oklahoma State
7 Baylor over 3 Texas
4 Iowa State over 7 Baylor
These teams are too closely bunched to go chalk, so why not a wild 4 days in Kansas City. Would a first game loss be enough for the committee to drop Kansas to a 3 seed? Would a title for Iowa State move them ahead of enough teams to garner a 2 seed? How high can Baylor or Oklahoma State go with a good run?
PAC 12 (March 12-15, Las Vegas)
8 Utah over 9 Washington
5 Colorado over 12 USC
7 Oregon over 10 Oregon State
6 Stanford over 11 Washington State
1 Arizona over 8 Utah
4 California over 5 Colorado
7 Oregon over 2 UCLA
3 Arizona State over 6 Stanford
1 Arizona over 4 California
7 Oregon over 3 Arizona State
1 Arizona over 7 Oregon
I think Arizona wants to make sure they secure a #1 seed, leaving nothing to chance. They will avenge losses to Cal and Oregon and lock-down the overall #3 seed on the seed list. I like how the Ducks are playing and think they want to prove to everyone they can beat UCLA when the Bruins are at full-strength. I also think a desperate Cal team comes through against Colorado in what might be the most important game of the tournament. A Cal win gives the PAC 12 a realistic chance at 7 teams, but would put Cal, Colorado and Stanford all in bubble territory if my picks would hold true.
ACC (March 12-16, Greensboro)
13 Notre Dame over 12 Wake Forest
10 Miami over 15 Virginia Tech
11 Georgia Tech over 14 Boston College
8 Maryland over 9 Florida State
13 Notre Dame over 5 Pittsburgh
7 NC State over 10 Miami
6 Clemson over 11 Georgia Tech
1 Virginia over 8 Maryland
4 North Carolina over 13 Notre Dame
2 Syracuse over 7 NC State
3 Duke over 6 Clemson
4 North Carolina over 1 Virginia
3 Duke over 2 Syracuse
3 Duke over 4 North Carolina
To be honest, I think Duke’s current resume is over-rated by some, but a run through the ACC would almost certainly give them a 2 seed. I think their road record and 2 bad losses prevent any chance of a #1. Syracuse could make a case for a #1 with a tournament title, but in all likelihood, the conference is playing for 2 and 3 seeds. I am never a big fan of the “we didn’t lose to anybody bad, but didn’t beat anyone either” resume that Pitt has. So why not throw in a loss against Notre Dame who has played well in recent conference tournaments to muddy the bubble waters a bit?!
AAC (March 12-15, Memphis)
7 Rutgers over 10 South Florida
8 Temple over 9 UCF
6 Houston over 3 SMU
2 Louisville over 7 Rutgers
1 Cincinnati over 8 Temple
5 Memphis over 4 Connecticut
2 Louisville over 6 Houston
5 Memphis over 1 Cincinnati
2 Louisville over 5 Memphis
Home court advantage will benefit Memphis, but Louisville will want to make sure they leave the conference with a nice parting gift. The Cardinals are trying to get up to a #3 seed and a more favorable location. A finals appearance will help Memphis, but the committee knows where these games are being played. Would a loss to Houston send SMU as far back as Dayton? I think the Mustangs are in, but that non-conference SOS is downright ugly.
Atlantic 10 (March 12-16, Brooklyn)
12 George Mason over 13 Fordham
9 St. Bonaventure over 8 LaSalle
5 Dayton over 12 George Mason
7 Richmond over 10 Duquesne
6 Massachusetts over 11 Rhode Island
1 St. Louis over 9 St. Bonaventure
5 Dayton over 4 St. Joseph’s
2 VCU over 7 Richmond
6 Massachusetts over 3 George Washington
1 St. Louis over 5 Dayton

1 St. Louis over 2 VCU
The Rams are the chique pick to win the A-10 Tourney, but I think the Billikens figured out a few defensive issues and are back on track. A #5 seed is awaiting the champion if this is the final. UMass would have an outside chance at a #5, but it would be more dependent on other results. These picks put Dayton in safe territory and move St. Joseph’s to the danger category. This will be by far the most important game of the tournament if the Flyers don’t stumble in their first game.
Big East (March 12-15, New York City)
8 Seton Hall over 9 Butler
7 Georgetown over 10 DePaul
1 Villanova over 8 Seton Hall
5 St. John’s over 4 Providence in 2OT
2 Creighton over 7 Georgetown
3 Xavier over 6 Marquette
1 Villanova over 5 St. John’s
2 Creighton over 3 Xavier
2 Creighton over 1 Villanova
We keep on waiting for some of the Big East bubble teams to go on a run and make a statement. The next 4 days provide that opportunity one last time. Once again though, I don’t see any of these teams coming through. Villanova and Creighton are the class of the league. I can see a potential St. John’s upset of Villanova, as they played them well a few weeks ago, but I am sticking with a team who has only lost to Syracuse and Creighton. If Villanova does lose the final, would they still get a #1 seed even though they lost to the same team 3 times? Can Creighton get up to the 2 line with a tournament title? I think it will take a lot for Creighton to move up, but they have a better chance than say, Louisville does.
SEC (March 12-16, Atlanta)
12 Auburn over 13 South Carolina
11 Vanderbilt over 14 Mississippi State
9 Texas A&M over 8 Missouri
5 Arkansas over 12 Auburn
7 LSU over 10 Alabama
11 Vanderbilt over 6 Ole Miss
1 Florida over 9 Texas A&M
4 Tennessee over 5 Arkansas
7 LSU over 2 Kentucky
3 Georgia over 11 Vanderbilt
1 Florida over 4 Tennessee
3 Georgia over 7 LSU
1 Florida over 3 Georgia
Bubble teams across the land have to wait until less than an hour before Selection Sunday to know whether a bid will be stolen by the Bulldogs. Fortunately, Georgia would have to beat the #1 team in the country and I don’t see Florida letting up. I think Tennessee will be the trickier game for the Gators. With Kentucky as the only lock in the bottom half of the bracket, a Wildcats loss to anyone will create a bid stealing scenario on Sunday afternoon.
Mountain West (March 12-15, Las Vegas)
8 Utah State over 9 Colorado State
7 Fresno State over 10 Air Force
6 Boise State over 11 San Jose State
1 San Diego State over 8 Utah State
4 UNLV over 5 Wyoming
2 New Mexico over 7 Fresno State
6 Boise State over 3 Nevada
4 UNLV over 1 San Diego State
2 New Mexico over 6 Boise State
2 New Mexico over 4 UNLV
Outside of a 10 minute stretch, the Lobos are probably playing the best basketball in the conference. It would be fitting to have round 3 against the Aztecs, but I have watched enough of these MWC Tourney’s to know that the home team does not go quietly. So before the bubble teams settle in on Sunday for the SEC Championship, they will have a Saturday date with the Mountain West Title game to sit through nervously. Again, I think the result is in their favor, as the Lobos are good enough to win a road Championship Game 2 years in a row.
Big Ten (March 13-16, Indianapolis)
9 Illinois over 8 Indiana
5 Ohio State over 12 Purdue
7 Minnesota over 10 Penn State
6 Iowa over 11 Northwestern
1 Michigan over 9 Illinois
4 Nebraska over 5 Ohio State
2 Wisconsin over 7 Minnesota
3 Michigan State over 6 Iowa
1 Michigan over 4 Nebraska
3 Michigan State over 2 Wisconsin
1 Michigan over 3 Michigan State
Can Michigan grab the final #1 seed with a win Sunday afternoon? I say yes, if Villanova has lost. The Big 10 double would likely do it, although I might see things differently. Michigan State comes in with a lot to prove, so I am begrudgingly taking them over Wisconsin and potentially knocking the Badgers down to a #3 seed. I think Nebraska/Ohio State could be a really fun in a dentist chair sort of way. Iowa and Minnesota really need multiple wins, but it will be tough for both.

College Basketball Field of 68 - Bracket (March 12, 2014)
This update mostly incorporates the automatic bids with a couple of small tweaks before the conference tournaments start to ramp it up tomorrow. Going into the last 5 days, things are very unsettled from a seeding perspective. If you take a look at the seed list I also posted tonight, the first 5 seed lines plus VCU are pretty stable. After the 21st position, the next group of teams from 6 to around 8 seed have very little difference. The remaining at-large teams from 9 down also have very little difference among them. I recommend to all teams to avoid a 1st game ouster in their conference tournaments while other teams around them gain quality wins.
