Stanford

If the selection committee favors the big conferences, Old Dominion and Drexel could be in serious trouble.

Bubble Update: Sunday 3:05 p.m. EDT

Purdue can breathe a sigh of relief...North Carolina State's run fell short in the ACC Championship. North Carolina wrapped up a No. 1 see with the win.

Bubble Update: Sunday, 2:30 p.m. EDT

Update to the bubble...not much change...I am removing Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Arkansas from the bubble. I would be shocked to see any of those three in the tournament.

Final Six In:
1. Old Dominion
2. Georgia Tech
3. Texas Tech
4. Illinois
5. Drexel
6. Purdue

First Five Out:
1. Kansas State
2. Florida State
3. Missouri State
4. Air Force
5. Stanford

NC State is within three of North Carolina right now, so that could spell trouble for Purdue.

I think your final six teams will come from this list of 11. Who knows, maybe all five I have out will be in and only one of the six I have in will make it.
