With March Madness creeping closer and closer with each passing day, it's time to take a look at who is in and who is out of the 2006 NCAA Tournament. Each week throughout the remainder of the college hoops season, we'll take a look at the complete field of sixty-five. In addition to seeding all of the squads, we also project where their first round matchup will take place and how the four regions will be paired in the Final Four.
