Even though this conference is the weakest in recent memory they could change many people’s minds with a couple large upsets come the NCAA Tournament. Currently there is only one team that is a lock for the NCAA Tournament.
The ACC has had a ton of upsets this year and there are two schools of thought about the strength of the ACC this year. Either you think this conference is so good that anyone can win on any given day or it’s a conference that is overrated and not near as strong as the rankings. Let’s predict who is in the big dance as of right now and predict how they will perform.
Right now the PAC 10 has a solid 5 teams in the big dance and no bubble teams. Any other team that wants to make the big dance from the PAC 10 will have to win the PAC 10 tournament. The bottom teams in this conference have been competitive but not good enough to get on the bubble.
The Big East has been given the best conference tag by almost every expert in college basketball. Today Craig handicaps the Bubble teams from the Big East.

There is nothing worse for a College Basketball coach than missing out on March Madness. Several big name programs have found themselves on the bubble of being home come March Madness. With less than 4 games left for much teams they still have opportunities to get themselves in. A late season winning streak could help any of the teams on the bubble prove there worth to the selection committee.
Projecting the NCAA Tournament is not easy and is ever changing right up to selection Sunday. The BIG 12 has had a very disappointing year after having a very good year last year. Currently Craig has only four teams that are a lock for the NCAA tournament. There are four other BIG 12 teams that are on the NCAA bubble and need a string of wins to find themselves in the dance.
March Madness is a great time to root for the underdog teams and the long shot to win it all. Craig is throwing out the 5 favorites and is only looking at the teams that are 15-1 or higher.
