 Selection Sunday is just hours away, which means it's time to take another look at who is in and who is out of the 2006 NCAA Tournament. The past few days of conference tournament action have affected the status of a number of teams, including the likes of Texas A&M, Michigan, Seton Hall, California, Cincinnati, and more. In addition to handing out the bids and seeding all of the squads, we also project where each team's first round matchup will take place and how the four regions will be paired in the Final Four.
