Championship Week is underway with six teams already earning automatic bids, including UNC Greensboro and Appalachian State who punched their tickets on Monday night. Tuesday brings five more conference championship games as the Colonial, Horizon, Northeast, Summit, and West Coast take center stage. The WCC provided good news for bubble teams with both Gonzaga and BYU making the finals and eliminating the chance for a bid thief, although BYU needed overtime to do it.
Starting today, I will be making daily updates to the projections before submitting my final set on Sunday afternoon. I’ll also be taking the opportunity to scrub different sections of the seed list where teams are closely clustered together.
