A bonus "Field of 68" projection heading into the weekend.
Yuck, I did it.
For the first time I put SMU and its ZERO Quad 1 wins in the bracket. Will the Ponies back me up with (perhaps) their first one Saturday when they host Clemson?
And don't look now, I have the SEC down to "only" 10 bids, with only one of my five SEC bubble teams (Texas) making the cut.
