Final Bracket - March 16
The new bracket is up at http://bracketproject.50webs.com/PDFS/FINAL031608.pdf
I couldn't figure out who to take out between Villanova and Arizona State. With Temple winning the A-10 title and Georgia taking the SEC title, they're both out.

FTP Woes II
After two days of success, I can't upload to my server at all. As a result, I'll be working on the mirror site all day. If the original site becomes functional again, I'll start updating it but I highly doubt they can fix it before the Selection Show. So please use these links for today.

Bracket - March 15
Today's bracket is posted on the main page. The next one will be released after the Big Ten Championship.
Ohio State missed out on their opportunity to solidify their standing with the committee. Arizona State moves back into the bracket.
Virginia Tech totally deserves a bid but I don't think it will based on the fact that their best win was against Miami on a neutral court. The Penn State and Old Dominion losses are head-scratchers.
Teams to watch for are Temple, Illinois, Minnesota, and Akron. These teams are threatening to win their conference tournaments and take away an at-large spot.

Bracket - March 14
I'll be quick about this.
Due to almost all the bubble teams losing, there wasn't much movement. Villanova and Syracuse played virtually a play-in game and Nova won so they move into the bracket. St. Joseph's gets in for Arizona State but ASU may get in as I study the Pac-10 situation a little bit more. At first glance, it will be either Oregon or ASU but not both. I'll give a more complete opinion tomorrow.
After the bracket was made, St. Joe's did beat Xavier, so now they're most definitely in.
Also after the bracket was made, Ohio State lost to Michigan State, putting their tourney hopes at risk.
Now the rundown...bubble edition.
Probably in:
Baylor, UNLV, Arkansas, Kentucky, St. Joseph's
In for now, but no more games to impress the committee:
South Alabama, Villanova, Illinois State, Oregon, Ohio State
Out, but still have games left:
Virginia Tech, Temple
Out, must rely on other teams to mess up:
Arizona State, New Mexico, Syracuse, Dayton, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Florida State, Creighton, Southern Illinois, VCU

FTP Woes
Some FTP issues continue on the atspace server so in the meantime, the matrix can be accessed on this site as well.

Update: Everything is working for now, but I'll keep this page live just in case there future mishaps between now and Sunday.

The Bracket Matrix
To those finding this site for the first time, welcome. About 80% of the visitors to the site are looking for the vast database of bracket projections. That can be found at The Bracket Matrix.
In previous years, it was called "Comparing the Projected Seeds" and 2006 and 2007 versions can be accessed through links on the right.
New brackets will be produced starting Friday and the matrix will be updated periodically as conference champions are crowned.
