Pay is the bracket expert here at PHSports and he's hard at work. I won't pretend to know 1% of what he does about the process of projecting brackets (not just the 65, but all 16 seed-lines); however, I have 5 questions on my mind I wouldn't mind sharing...
Is Va. Tech's out-of-conference schedule the straw that breaks the camel's back for their tournament bid hopes? Or is 10 ACC wins and no crippling out-of-conference losses enough?

1) Is SOS going to be heavily weighted this year? Especially out-of-conference SOS? If so, Virginia Tech shot themselves in the foot before this season, right???
2) Did Illinois or Mississippi State pass the "eye test" this weekend enough for one or both to sneak in?
3) Utah State and UTEP. Might one of them (or both!?!?) not get invited to the dance for a poor performance in Saturday's conference championships?
4) Who's deep conference tournament run may actually hinder their performance next weekend in the opening round?
5) Will there ever be a show as funny as Arrested Development? Let me answer that one actually. NO. Check that. Hell no.
I think we've all learned one thing from this year's bubble (and most years): 65 is more than enough. And no, that's not a question.
