 With Selection Sunday less than one week away, it's time to take yet another look at who is in and who is out of the 2006 NCAA Tournament. Included is a look at the complete field of sixty-five, as well as a glance at who is sitting just on the outside and the others that are also under consideration. 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.
