Here is "bracketologist" Tony Mejia, who correctly picked the entire 65 team field last year. He has 5 teams in from the MVC. And he has MSU as the only MVC on the bubble.
I don't know about everyone else, but the fact that not a single major expert sees Bradley being left out is slightly reassuring. But I won't rest until I see it in a few hours.
And Joe Lunardi is also working Sundays. He has updated his brackets after Saturday's games, and has Bradley as a #10 seed playing Marquette (#7) in Dayton. He has Illinois in the 2nd round. If that happens, those tickets to the Dayton regional will be worth plenty.
Note the "bubble" teams in the right column.... no MVC teams!
Here is one by FoxSports' Yani Cohen. Unfortunately, he does list Bradley as 1 of the last 4 in, and thus potentially on the bubble. But he lists Hofstra and Alabama are probably the first to go. He discusses Bradley's resume and notes they have "seven wins over RPI Top 50 competition ???‚¬??? more than Florida State and Michigan combined ???‚¬??? will be enough with an RPI of 35". [Actually they have 8 wins over top 50 RPI- UNI twice, CU twice, WSU, SIU, MSU, and WKU].

Another writer for FoxSports, Michael Lazarus, puts Bradley in Jacksonville as a #11 seed against Georgetown--
Here is SI's Stewart Mandel. He has Bradley in San Diego as a #11 seed against Georgetown--
There are more projections, but these seem like the most knowledgeable ones.
