NCAA Field of 68 - February 27, 2012 Edition

• Kentucky overall #1, followed by Syracuse, Michigan State and Duke
• Last 4 In - Mississippi State, Texas, BYU and Washington
• Next 6 - Colorado State, VCU, Miami, FL, Arizona, South Florida, Illinois
• One First Four game moved to 11 line to accomodate travel, Dayton and Cincinnati moved to 12 line, but ahead of these teams in my S-curve
• Current 1-8 seeds are tournament locks, the 9 seeds are locks barring absolute disaster.  The 14 teams on the 10-12 lines are all squarely on the bubble and have work left to do.
• There are 5 Atlantic 10 teams in my bracket today, but I fully expect at least one of them to play their way out.  As of right now though, these teams have more wins and better wins than teams like Colorado State and VCU.
• Washington should now win the PAC-12 regular season title, coupled with their head-to-head sweep, puts them ahead of Arizona on my selection board.
• Miami got a huge win against Florida State, but with still only 3 top 100 wins, the profile is lacking.  South Florida also had a nice win, but also lacks in overall body of work.
