In mere hours, the selection committee will lift the mystery on the 2010 NCAA Tournament, unleashing bracket madness throughout the country.
As Selection Sunday arrives, the Mock Tournament has once again undergone significant changes. We have a new No. 1 seed, West Virginia, and fewer major conference bubble teams thanks to upset victories by Houston and New Mexico State. UTEP and Utah State take two at-large bids, turning the Conference USA and WAC into two-bid conferences.
The bubble could contract further today if Mississippi State wins the SEC championship. Today’s action could produce other changes to the brackets.
- Temple and Richmond could swap spots as No. 4 and No. 5 seeds if the Spiders beat the Owls.
- Florida would be the first team out if the Bulldogs win.
We have only four more games to go before all automatic bids are accounted for. Enjoy the games, and check back later to see how closely the Mock Tournament comes to predicting the field.
Here are the latest brackets and links to previous projections.
- Mock Tournament 9.0
- Mock Tournament 8.0
- Mock Tournament 7.0
- Mock Tournament 6.0
- Mock Tournament 5.0
- Mock Tournament 4.0
- Mock Tournament 3.0
- Mock Tournament 2.0
- Mock Tournament 1.0
