Corrected NCAA Tournament ProjectionsI had Villanova as my last team in, and I had 8 teams from the Big East. But, I forgot to take Ohio State out of my bracket.

New Mexico Locks (57): Locks are teams that I think will make the NCAA Tournament regardless of what they do in the conference tournament. They are subject to change on a week-to-week basis. I added the other conferences to see how many at-larges could be left. Teams in bold won the automatic bid.
