Week #14 Field of 64 Projections & Bubble Watch
This is truly the stretch run of the season now, as no teams play regular season games past this weekend and a couple conferences are about to start (or have already started, shoutout Patriot League) their conference tournaments. Thus, it is time for another Field of 64 and Bubble projection! As always, keep 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. The season is heating up, and here is The Rundown’s Week #14 Field of 64:
