Crazy things are going on right now, and it’s only going to get worse before we reach Championship Week. There are so many teams battling to get into the NCAA Tournament field right now that it’s incredibly hard to figure out who should be in. It changes every day.

Some teams have struggled this season, but nobody’s really stood out among the bubble teams, which means there is a chance to get into the tournament — but they’ll need some help.
