This edition of "Bracket Math" includes games through Sunday, March 1. Rankings reflect an up-to-date seed list from yours truly, posing as one hypothetical member of the NCAA men's basketball committee. Next update: Tuesday, March 3 • Virginia would remain a No. 1 seed even with a loss tonight at Syracuse.
• Texas jumps to "First Four Out" with a home win against Baylor.
• There can be no other movement Monday within any of the bubble categories.
• Boise State and Tulsa are (perhaps temporarily) off the bubble as they now lead their respective conferences and go into the bracket as automatic qualifiers.
• BYU moves past Davidson for the final at-large spot after examining the impact of player absences (injuries) for each.
