Current Bracket Matrix (Before Thursday's Games)

Considers all teams that are seeded 9 or below.  My view is that as a 9 seed if you lose your next 2 games to close the season (1 regular + 1 tourney), you are no lock.  So they are being tracked.   For many of those teams the chances of them losing the 2 are unlikely, but no matter the opponent, must win games are no fun at this time of year.

A few new appearances on this list, but some that we saw coming.

[B]Out of 43[/B]
Florida St 43
Arizona St 43
USC 43
Oklahoma 42
Missouri 42
St. Bonaventure 42
St. Mary's 41
Louisville 41
Baylor 39
Kansas St 35
Providence 35
Alabama 33
Texas 27
[B]--------------[/B]
UCLA 16
Washington 9
Nebraska 6
Miss St 4
Western Kentucky 3
Marquette 3
Syracuse 2
Utah 2
Boise St 2

There is not much strength below that bubble line.  After Nebraska it is wide open, and I would think all teams need 2 quality wins to move above the line, but perhaps right into the site of a bubble buster.
