This past week in college basketball saw multiple teams on the bubble suffer devastating losses, dealing a significant blow to their respective tournament aspirations. Just a few weeks ago, it seemed that the 10-11 seeds would be as strong as ever, but now the committee looks to have a few tough decisions as to which teams will secure those final at-large bids. This version of bracketology will attempt to make sense of the current bubble situation as well as seed the tournament locks for the upcoming 2024 NCAA Tournament.
