It's time for that annual tradition - tracking who is in, and who is already eliminated from the tournament.
Same as always - a full listing of every single team - and we eliminate the teams who cannot make the tournament. This year, we start with 346 Division I Teams, and eliminate an astonishing 11 teams due to NCAA restrictions. We eliminate re-classifying Omaha and Northern Kentucky as well. We also eliminate the schools with no conference and the Great West who are not eligible as a conference (and none of whom will make at-large bids)
Teams that are eliminated from their conference, but remain at-large contenders will get their own section below.
So... here we go:

Cornell

if any of them lose, or if Harvard wins, they are ALL out.
Harvard-Princeton tonight could very well determine the Ivy winner, a Crimson win would all but seal them as the Conference champion.
OK, here are the scores now:
HALFTIME:
Yale 26, Columbia 21
Princeton 30, Harvard 24 (here's to hoping a second half surge will still happen.)
Dartmouth 35, Penn 30
Second half:
Brown 48, Cornell 36
Well, it all comes down to our game...
Top two wishes of Ivy football fans everywhere: Playoff participation by the Ivy champion and the diversification of opponents in scheduling games.
After losing 3 teams with only 9 games played last night - today is the BIG day for shaping the conference tourney fields.
Of note today:
The last day of the Ohio Valley regular season
Edwardsville, EIU and Martin are playing for their lives today. Two teams in - one team stays home. I think there is a funky way for TN Tech to sneak in too.
In the NEC - Sacred Heart and St. Francis - Brooklyn will play what amounts to a play-in game for the NEC tourney.
In the Big West - UCSB and CS-Northridge will play - the winner will likely have a lock on the final seed in the BW tourney - but there will be a few games left.
In the Big Sky - a loss by Eastern Washington would end their hopes of making the Tournament - The log jam from the middle to the bottom of the conference will be sorted out a bit today.
In the A-10 - Dayton needs a win... a loss would leave them in DEEP trouble. Half the conference is still on the bubble.
Conference clinching scenarios (which don't really mean much with the tournaments)
Akron: Will clinch best record in MAC with win at Buffalo and Ohio loss at Bowling Green
Belmont: Will clinch best record in Ohio Valley with win vs. Jacksonville State or Eastern Kentucky loss at Tennessee State
Charleston Southern: Will clinch best record in Big South South Division with win vs. Coastal Carolina
High Point: Will clinch best record in Big South North division with win vs. Campbell
Long Beach State: Will clinch Big West outright with win at UC Irvine or Pacific loss at UC Riverside
Louisiana Tech: Will clinch WAC outright with win vs. San Jose State and Denver loss vs. New Mexico State
Memphis: Will clinch Conference USA outright with win at UCF or Southern Miss loss vs. East Carolina
Mercer: Will clinch Atlantic Sun outright with win at Stetson or Florida Gulf Coast loss vs. Kennesaw State
Miami: Will clinch ACC outright with win at Duke
New Mexico: Will clinch Mountain West outright with win vs. Wyoming and Colorado State loss at Boise State
Niagara: Will clinch MAAC outright with win vs. St. Peter's
South Dakota State: Will clinch Summit League outright with Western Illinois loss vs. South Dakota
Texas Southern: Will clinch SWAC outright with win vs. Alcorn State
Valparaiso: Will clinch Horizon League outright with win at Green Bay or Detroit loss at Illinois-Chicago
Wichita State at Creighton: Winner clinches Missouri Valley outright

I think Tennessee St could pull upset and win OVC finals and play in NCAAs.This is the time for Robert Covington a NBA SF prospect at 6-9 215 to step up his play and show pro scouts he has what it takes to play at the next level.Or he could gain 30-35 and play PF as well.Also he has a teammate Michael Green another 6-9 200 Forward with NBA potential that could contribute.

he's pretty set on Vandy, the Commodores are also getting one of his teammates. They're playing for a state title this weekend.
