2021-2 Men's Basketball Tournament Bubble Watch (***Since Updated)

So, as has been the case the past several Years, I have relied on bracketology aggregator The Bracket Matrix to best tell me which teams are in the real tournament, which teams are told to play in these fucking stupid, unbalancing "play-in" Games (I will never regard those Games as part of the tournament, and you can't make me, asshole), and which teams are the last (not first, last, and this misnomer that has become calcified when it comes to bracketology also enrages me) teams out.

This is taken Sunday morning.  The Bracket Matrix notes that it was updated sometime Saturday the 12th.  There is also a special, helpful note that most of the brackets used to aggregate the results were submitted prior to conference tournament Games that were played on the 12th.  So, it could be more accurate.  But I have stuff to do today, and I don't know if I'll get to The Bracket Matrix just before the results are given, which starts around 5 p.m. Central Daylight (not Saving; have you sprung forward yet?) Time tonight.

These teams are listed in order from descending belief that team is in the tourney:

The Real Last Four Teams In: San Francisco, Miami (Fla.), Michigan, Indiana

Play-In Games: Wyoming, Notre Dame, Rutgers, SMU

Actually These Are The Last Four Teams Out: Xavier, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Wake Forest

Penultimate Four Teams Out (and really, I should stop adding these; bracketologists have gotten so accurate that the teams that fall to this level are almost universally regarded as having no chance of making The Big Dance): Dayton, VCU, BYU, North Texas

Updating at 10:17 a.m.: TBM has inputted a slew of bracket projections dated today, so I should update the results here.  And, frankly, it's not huge, but there is one: Texas A&M supplants Rutgers in the bullshit Play-In.  Therefore the middle two lines should now read:

Play-In Games: Wyoming, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, SMU

Actually These Are The Last Four Teams Out: Rutgers, Xavier, Oklahoma, Wake Forest
