| There are only about 5 weeks left in the season and the scramble is about to begin. The bubble is quite large
already this year. Teams near the cut-off point are stacking up and a number of teams are from the non-major conferences, leading me to

Sitting Courtside. Don't be afraid to write in and let me know
how you feel. |
