4 ACC schools - Wake, ND, Miami, UNC all in precarious bubble position. Duke is the only lock. Who would have ever imagined?

instead of recreating the wheel each week with this thread...starting a new thread EVERY WEEK?
how about just "updating one thread" on an ongoing basis?

I prefer it like this so the current bubble is shown as 1st post and then we discuss it over the 3-4 days. Plus makes it easier to go back later and see how the bubble has evolved as we go along.

Awesome thread Mr. Stever. Thanks for putting in the work.

Looks like another meh ACC team (Virginia) will be added to next week's bubble watch...

Yet another Providence disrespect, and this time it's a dig at their resume. On what planet is Villanova a lock and Providence isn't?

They've been treating the league like a midmajor ever since the split.

I mean yeah Providence goes 0-6 to end the year and loses 1st rd of BET, they're 20-9. That's an easy lock. They'd have 5 Q1 wins still and probably only 1 Q3 loss(Creighton could be bouncing top 75 or not which would change things some).
