Bubblicious Thursday

We differ on 3. I have Louisville, Marquette, and Syracuse in with Florida St, Arizona St, and Alabama out. I seem to differ from many on FSU so I may have to take another look there. They are currently my first team out and I anticipate they will be back in after some other teams lose. I don't understand Lunardi's inclusion of Baylor at all, and even less that he doesn't have them in his last 4 in.

Last 4 in: Syracuse, Oklahoma, Providence, Marquette
First 4 out: Florida St, Arizona St, Alabama, W Kentucky

Thanks. I just tweaked mine a bit. Put Marquette and Syracuse in, took Butler and K-State out.

Final until another update tomorrow morning.

I just don't see Oklahoma deserving a spot. They haven't won a game away from home for longer than the Gophers.

Ok, I may be wrong there. But they are just not up to the usual standards in my opinion.

Agree.

Sooners a team that I don't want to select because of how much they've struggled down the stretch (also Alabama & ASU), but in the end will probably have them in.

I get it. They've been terrible down the stretch. But with 6 Q1 wins, a top 25 SOS, and strong computer numbers (for a bubble team) I think they'll ultimately be in the field.
