It is that time of year, March March Madness is coming.
Conferences tournaments are starting and large conferences are playing their final regular season games.
And over the course of the next 11 days, some teams will make a move and get into the NCAA tournament and some will have their bubbles burst.
Outside of winning a conference championship, these are the 14 teams with the most to gain or lose as we gear up for March Madness.
Alabama Crimson Tide
Conference (conference RPI rank): SEC (8)
Record (conference record): 19-11 (11-6)
RPI Rank: 59
BPI Rank: 68
Versus BPI Top 50: 1-5
In or out? Alabama's biggest win was at home against Kentucky, another team on the bubble. Bama probably needs a deep run in the SEC tourney to get into the big dance. OUT
Southern Miss Golden Eagles
Conference (conference RPI rank): Conference USA (11)
Record (conference record): 22-8 (11-4)
RPI Rank: 46
BPI Rank: 64
Versus BPI Top 50: 0-4
In or out? Does Conference USA deserve an at-large bid? Southern Miss is 0-4 against the BPI top 50 teams, but it is hard to believe the committee is going to keep a team ranked 34th in the RPI out of the tournament. The loss to Marshall certainly hurts, but if they get to their conference title game, they are probably in. IN
Baylor Bears
Conference (conference RPI rank): Big 12 (5)
Record (conference record): 17-13 (8-9)
RPI Rank: 67
BPI Rank: 50
Versus BPI Top 50: 2-10
In or out? Baylor has played a quality schedule with 12 games against BPI top 50 teams, but they only won two of those. Their win against Oklahoma St. was their best of the season, but losing to Charleston at home, and dropping five of the last six is going to be too much to overcome. OUT
