This past week once again featured some bubble teams securing massive victories. Who were our biggest bracketology winners of the week?

Another week of college basketball is complete and the bubble still makes basically no sense. With seemingly every day that passes, bubble teams around the nation struggle to notch quality wins that they might need to make the NCAA Tournament. Because of this, the bubble seems extremely weak when, in reality, it is just quite small. Teams are basically eliminated from consideration seemingly every day and there are plenty of teams who are fighting to just stay in the conversation.

With that said, though, there were a few teams who put together strong weeks for their respective NCAA Tournament profiles. And, as always, this piece is meant to bring light to those teams who helped themselves most throughout this last week. In contrast to how this piece was constructed earlier in the season, though, I am focusing more on the cutline and the teams that are hovering around making versus missing the tournament rather than those who are simply playing for seeding at this point in time. If I was doing the latter, you could expect that teams such as Michigan State and North Carolina would be heavily featured over those that are coming soon.

Now, without any further ado, how about we dive into this edition of my bracketology winners of the week. These were the squads that, in my opinion, helped themselves most with regards to making the Big Dance during this past week. They are in no particular order. (As a quick refresher, you can find my bracketology projected field of 68 update heading into this past weekend here.)
