W-8 BP68

We're eight weeks from Selection Sunday, and this is my first BP68 with the full bubble, where I list every team with even the most remote chance of making the Tournament as an at-large team. From here on out I will be eliminating teams with each new BP68 until the final bracket on Selection Sunday, where I'll project the 68 teams in the field plus a few others that might get in if I made a mistake.

As always, here is how I see things ending up on Selection Sunday:
