The bid thieves have done their thing during conference tournament week and the bracket is beginning to take shape ahead of Selection Sunday and the bracket reveal at 5 p.m. this evening. So the burning question remains: is OSU getting into the field?
Jerry Palm at CBS Sports and Joe Lunardi at ESPN both say no.
Palm updated his bracket overnight Sunday and had OSU as one of the “First Four Out” in his projections. Arizona State was technically the first team out of the field in his bracket followed by OSU, Vanderbilt and North Carolina, meaning in the 68-team bracket OSU ranks 70th for him.
