Bracketology 3/11/2022

Some bubble teams from outside the bracket are making a charge into consideration this week. Oklahoma picked up a massive win over Baylor and will likely move into the field if they beat Texas Tech today. Virginia Tech has strung together two close wins and takes on North Carolina today. Texas A&M knocked off fellow bubble team Florida and has a chance for a marquee win against Auburn.

I’ll be scrubbing the entire seed list between now and Sunday morning so expect some changes between now and then. 42 of the 60 teams in at-large consideration are still alive in their conference tournaments so there are plenty of data points still to come.
