NCAA Tournament Teams on the Bubble
It seems that last years National Champions are in a bit of trouble when it comes to making the NCAA Tournament. That's right, the Florida Gator's are a team on the bubble for 2008. The Gator's have made an early exit in SEC play after an upset loss to the Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky has now won six of their last seven games and are quickly making a statement hat screams, "We deserve to make the NCAA Tournament!"

Before last nights match up the Gator's had taken seven straight from Kentucky and if they could have pulled off a win it would all but seal the deal on a trip to the march madness tournament. Its not over for Florida, they have an important match up against Alabama on March 13th. If Florida can end the season with a strong finish the tournament committee surely can not overlook a team that won the championship last season.
If it was a case of taking the top 64 teams in the nation then the Gator's would absolutely be in, but when 31 of the 64 open spots are filled by conference champions that leaves only 33 teams available. With many teams from the smaller conferences having better records and a stronger RPI it raises the odds of a snub from tournament action for the Gator's. Teams like the Drake Bulldogs coming out of the Missouri Valley conference would surely lose in a head to head battle against an SEC Power House, but with over 20 wins on the season and some impressive wins against Big 10 and Big 12 in state rivals the committee is forced to take a different perspective with making their march madness picks.
