Bracketology: Colorado St In, Mississippi St Out

Bracketology projections will be coming fast and furious right up until Selection Sunday. While the top two seed lines remain unchanged in this update, there are a ton of changes around the Bubble. Colorado St not only moves into the field, but jumps to an 11 seed, as competitors like Seton Hall, Washington, and Northwestern faltered.

However, the big loser is Mississippi St, who drops out of the field. The Bulldogs fell to Georgia in the SEC Tournament, their sixth loss in eight tries. Mississippi St is also looking at an RPI in the 70's when the #'s update tomorrow morning. Drexel is currently the last team out, but I could move them into the field before Sunday. A10 hopefuls St. Joseph's and Dayton have big games tomorrow.. a loss by either would eliminate them from contention.

Why Pay Attention to What I Have to Say: Collegehoops.net's projections have consistently proven to be the best in the business. Over the last 4 years, Shawn Siegel is the #1 ranked Bracketologist according to the Bracket Project. This ranking includes the likes of Joe Lunardi, Gary Parrish, Jerry Palm, and Andy Glockner.. none of whom come close. 

As always, the field below is a prediction of what the committee would do as things stand today, not what they should do. This is done by taking into account standings, polls, computer rankings, and the committee's historical biases.
