Welcome to the NCAA Bubble Watch Blog. This blog will track all 347 NCAA Division 1 men's basketball teams from the start of the season until Selection Sunday. As I deem teams to be eliminated from any potential at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament, they will be removed from the list.
For many low-major schools, they will be looking at having to win their conference tournament or watch the tournament from home by early December. Schools from conferences like the ACC or Big Ten, will hang around until at least early January. This list is not meant to predict or forecast. No matter how unlikely a scenario or path to an at-large bid may be, if it exists, a school will remain on this list. An obviously terrible last place ACC school probably isn't going to finish the year 11-1, but they might, and so long as there's a possibility of playing their way to at-large consideration they will remain on the list. Likewise, an 0-2 start for a school from the SWAC predicted to finish in last isn't a death sentence for purposes of this list. If they can still finish the year at 27-3 (I understand that they won't) their bubble will remain intact.
I will try my best to update daily. I've done this for several years, and thought I might as well share. This blog is a work in progress, so bare with me, and feel free to offer your suggestions for improvements.
Good luck to your school.
