I think I may have made a math error in my previous bubble update; I think the bubble was one spot smaller than I said. Anyway, I’ve now double- and triple-checked, and I have the final, official BrendanLoy.com Bubble Scoresheet available for download in Microsoft Word and PDF format. Print it out and follow along with the selection show!
UPDATE: And now I’ve added the official BrendanLoy.com Seeding Scoresheet, based on Joe Lunardi’s top 5 seeds, so you can follow along, fill in the seeds as they’re announced, and know right away if there are any surprises: PDF, DOC.)
HTML versions after the jump.

Ahah thanks for this brendan, usually I have to go through the process in my head. I never can think of them all. This is for those true fans who actually care about this stuff. Aka me and Brendan, the basketball nerds.

Brendan Take a look at this from espn.
Teams that will get in
• Wichita State (MVC regular-season champ is a lock)
• George Mason (Skinn suspension should impact seed, not inclusion)
• Bradley (strong finish, O’Bryant factor, swept Northern Iowa)
Teams that should get in
• Northern Iowa (big nonconf Ws; swept by Creighton)
• Florida State (Only one name win and a terrible nonconf SOS, but fifth place in the No. 2 conference and three losses to Duke, UNC and BC by a combined five points. Most “upside” of any team left.)
