    Welcome to March: NCAA Tournament Preview

    Easily my favorite month in the entire calendar year is March. To me, March Madness is a holiday and I believe that the NCAA Tournament is the most entertaining tournament in all of sports. Today is March 1st, so every team in contention for receiving a bid to the big dance will be on edge for the next 17 days until Selection Sunday. For some, the end of the regular season is this Saturday, and for others, it is Saturday the 9th. For mid-majors, unless you are in a special circumstance, your goal is winning your conference tournament to receive an automatic bid. For high-majors, if you cannot win your conference tournament, your goal is to be good enough to receive an at-large bid.

    In terms of the article, I am doing a special all-around March Madness document to celebrate it being March 1st. Included is my updated seed list and full bubble breakdown with mid-major teams that have a chance at stealing at-large bids from the bubble teams.
