Bracket Watch for March 3rd

Does anybody want to be in the NCAA's this year? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? *shakes out of Ben Stein impersonation* Honestly, the way things are headed, New Jersey Tech at 0-29 may find themselves on the bubble, SERIOUSLY.

At least one team is in the field, Cornell won the Ivy Group outright and is the first to be emblazoned in NICE AND SHINY CAPS. As for the rest of the field(or a resonable projection thereof), read on. *denotes a bubble rider
