[QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5010344, member: 1969"]
I'll do the matrix rankings with schedule of today's games first.   Since there are a lot of meaningful games today.   Then I'll try to come up with my list after that which will be a bit different - its tighter for me since I'm not generally as fixated on NETS as some.

This is based on 35 brackets submitted today (so sample is a bit small).   [B]But you can see some real movements yesterday because so many teams had quality wins and due to a bubble buster "Dayton".  For example, Indiana St fell from 72% in to 23% in without even playing   Seton Hall went from pretty safe at 100%, to now some real concern at 74%.   [/B]Typically modest wins by Miss St and Texas A&M would solidify things.   But they went down a bit.

[I][U]I don't consider any of the teams below 100% safe, even if they are 95% plus in.     Due to a potential AAC bubble buster, and possibly one in the P6, plus many teams playing today with a chance to add something big like Pitt, A&M and Providence.   As you can see from yesterday, you can drop quickly.[/U][/I]

Florida Atlantic*** 35  (Q2 vs North Texas 5:30)
St. John's 35 (Up from 90% to 100%)  (Q1 vs UConn 5:30)
Virginia 34 (Up from 94% to 97%) (Q2 vs NC St 9:30)
Colorado 33 (Up from 85% to 94%) Q1 vs Washington St 10:30)
Miss St 28   (Down from 96% to 80%)   (Q1 vs Tennessee 1:00)
New Mexico 27 (Up from 48% to 77%) (Q1 vs Colorado St Midnight)
Seton Hall 26 (Down from 100% to 74%)  Done
---------
Providence 11 (Up from 6% to 31%) (Q1 vs Marquette 8:00)
Texas A&M 9 (Down from 48% to 27%)   (Q1 vs Kentucky 7:00)
Indiana St 8 (Down from 72% to 23%)  Done
Pittsburgh 8 (Up from 7% to 23%) (Q1 vs UNC 7:00)

Wake, Nova and Kansas St are all now down to zero which makes sense.   They hard to justify.

*** I have included Florida Atlantic for two reasons.   One I am not 100% sold on them as an at-large even though they are a consensus 9 seed per the matrix.   But if they do lose, they likely still get in, and then a further seed is taken away.
