It’s that time, folks. Let’s watch some bubbles. Aside from tragically missing out on the fun in 2022 due to lack of free time, I’ve pumped out Bauer’s Bubble Watch post-Super Bowl on a weekly basis every year as far back as 2018, and possibly even earlier (though all editions pre-2021 are sadly lost forever,Continue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/11/26”

This is the end, beautiful friend. …Well, maybe. Longtime readers of Bauer’s Bubble Watch should know that the Monday or Tuesday before Selection Sunday typically marks the swan song for the annual column. Longtime readers should also know that I have tried my darnedest to get out a final final update on the Thursday orContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 3/10/25”

It’s the moooost wonderful tiiiime of the yeeeeear! Forgive my Christmas-like enthusiasm, but March really is like a second Christmas to me. My happy place is right here, feeling the winter finally thaw, sipping on shamrock shakes, and watching postseason college basketball for 30 days straight. It’s my favorite month of the year, and consideringContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 3/3/25”

Is Bubble Watch getting boring? I sure hope not. Otherwise, what am I spending my entire Sunday writing 7,500+ words for?! I only pose this question because the thrill of Bubble Watch comes from seeing how résumés develop on a weekly basis. It’s an ever-evolving game, in which teams shuffle their level of safety basedContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/24/25”

Well, that was rather refreshing. What I’m referring to, of course, is this past Saturday’s top 16 bracket preview—the annual “midterm” for bracketologists that presents us a peek into the selection committee’s psyche, and allows us to see whether or not our hard work through the first three-and-a-half months of the season has paid off.Continue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/17/25”

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: the best time of year is finally here. Welcome back, Bubble Watch. In just over a month’s time, the 68-team field will be revealed, and the greatest spectacle in sports—nay—world history, will commence. This, of course, is the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament, better known as March Madness.Continue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/10/25”

Where’d all the time go? It was just a month ago that the Bauer’s Bubble Watch column reopened for business in 2024. Now, with less than week to go until Selection Sunday, the final full edition of BBW is upon us. The days just move too quickly! In five short days, the NCAA Tournament bracketContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 3/12/24”

Let the madness begin! The first Bauer’s Bubble Watch of March 2024 is here, and so is the college basketball postseason, as the ASUN tournament began its march to the madness on Monday night. Though I don’t track eliminations here on BBW, we can firmly cross two teams off the tournament-hopeful list with both KennesawContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 3/5/24”

Do you feel that? That’s the anticipation beginning to settle in. That calendar might make your eyes do a double-take, and not just because it’s Leap Year. (Don’t forget about that on Thursday, by the way). No, it’s because conference tournament play is now officially less than a week away. Crazy, right? But it’s true—theContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/27/24”

Hello, friends. Welcome back to Bauer’s Bubble Watch. (Aaaaahhh, it feels so good to say that again!) Yes, the long wait is over. Football season is now a relic of the distant past, and the greater collective sports focus has turned its attention to the hardwood, just in time for the homestretch of college basketballContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/20/24”
