Several teams snagged monster wins for their NCAA Tournament resumes during this past week. Which ones were our biggest bracketology winners?

There are only a couple of weeks remaining until Selection Sunday. Conference tournaments are starting to get underway around the country and it is clear that teams everywhere are making their last-second arguments to reach the NCAA Tournament. With this said, bracketology is hitting its peak season of the year and teams are hoping to move up every single day with either their own results or the potential losses of other teams on the bubble.

The bracketology bubble has widely been regarded as “weak” this season and I am not quite sure if this is correct. In fact, I think it would be better described as “small.” To put it simply, there are not that many teams fighting for the last few bids to the field. This does not make the competition around the country any less exciting than it has been in recent years. Conference tournaments are always two of the best weeks of the year and this season has a particularly high potential for bid-stealers.

During this past week, four teams made significant moves in bracketology rankings thanks to their play. As always, this piece is meant to look at those that are sitting on the bubble who helped themselves most as of late. It is impossible to say whether or not these teams will continue to improve from this point forward but it is clear that they have been playing well as of late.

Now, without any further ado, let’s dive into which teams were the biggest bracketology winners of the week.
