The Bubbler
The higher up each team is on this bubble list, the better. Colorado has now moved from The Bubble to Safe status. As of today, just 10 teams on The Bubble will make the NCAA Tournament, while teams 11 through 20 are on the outside, looking in. Teams listed at numbers 7 through 10 are the last four in. Teams listed at numbers 11 through 14 comprise the first four out. As conference tournament upsets occur, the bubble teams in the tournament will begin to shrink. So, far, no major upsets have occurred that would add teams to the field and remove the number of Bubble teams from the “in” list.
