Ooh boy, Bracketology has gone daily for the rest of the season.
Villanova's an 8-seed, and gets Stanford again in Winston Salem as part of the East Rutherford regional. The winner gets North Carolina, and all I can say is if that game comes to pass watch out for those traveling calls.
Penn gets up to a 13-seed, and on the S-curve (Insider subscription required) is the lowest of them. Nevada is the top 4-seed, and though they're really, really good you still have to prefer the Wolf Pack to some of the other teams the Quakers could get. Including another 4-seed, the very athletic Virginia Tech Hokies.
Drexel jumps up to being the first team out. Joe Lunardi writes in his column that "few teams will be discussed quite as much as Drexel these next two weeks." Get to that game against VCU, and win it, and that discussion will be even longer.
A note about the blog this week. I have actual job work to do for the rest of the week, so there won't be any more Newwstand posts for a while. The Philly.com college sports headlines will still be in the right rail here on the blog, and there's a pretty good list of other media outlets in the links list. I figure you all can do it yourselves from there. I also think I might hold Crunchy Numbers until Wednesday of next week so that I can do a seaon-recapping edition that will include Penn's last regular-season game at Princeton.
I'll be writing about mock brackets and other stuff that comes to mind, but the Newsstand compilations really take a while, so I hope you won't mind that.
Now, back to the show.
