I have always done these later in the season, even when Syracuse is out.   But I'm pretty sure the second last day of the regular season is the latest I started tracking it.   Probably just an indication of my NCAA interest -- that being said it always pick up to some degree come March

Main reason I typically post these is to get some structure for myself or others for what to track / what games to watch the upcoming few days (in particular around the bubble).

Let's start with the matrix - using this as my "consensus" guide.   I may make my opinion on a few of these, but I'm not seeding teams myself - not worth my time.

Current Teams per Conference
SEC - 13 (+1 first 4 out)
B10 - 10 (+1 first 4 out)
B12 - 8
Big East - 5
MWC - 3 (+1 first 4 out)
ACC - 3 (+1 first 4 out)
WCC - 2
One Bids - 24

The split is largely as I expected after tracking OOC performance earlier this year.   The SEC did historically good in OOC - way better than even the BE ever did ... ACC did really bad.   SEC beat ACC something like 34-4 (I'll verify that later).    Big 10 was the second best.   Big 12 wasn't much better than BE, but they boosted their NET's on margin.

3 for the ACC was probably the worst case scenario.  At end of December I would have expected 4, maybe 5.    But what has happened is lack of quality win opportunities due to ACC's OOC, and its easier to get "bad" losses.   It will be interesting to see how they treat UNC.
