Weekend #12 Field of 64 Projections & Bubble Watch
We are now in the month of May, which means there are just 24 days remaining until Selection Monday. It only feels right to attempt to project what the regionals preceding Omaha might shape up to look like, even though some of these projections very well could get shredded by the events of this weekend. Bear in mind that two teams from the same conference cannot be grouped into the same regional, and there are some stipulations with how the #1-32 ranked teams are seeded. Teams in the #29-32 range will be placed into regionals with teams that are ranked #1-4, #25-28 going with #5-8 and so on. With there being no time to waste before today’s games start in just a few hours, let’s get into the field.
