At right are rankings of all NCAA Division I men's basketball teams through the games of Sunday, March 11, 2007 (i.e., all regular season and conference tournament games) according to the "Dance Card" formula developed by Jay Coleman of the University of North Florida and Allen Lynch of Mercer University, and published in Interfaces (a journal of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences).  The Dance Card is a formula designed to predict which teams will receive at-large tournament bids from the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee.

The Dance Card correctly predicted 30 of the 34 at-large selections (missing on Georgia Tech, Indiana, Stanford, and Texas Tech), for a 2007 accuracy of 88%.  [Note: Missouri State becomes the highest ranked team ever to not get a bid, and Texas Tech becomes the lowest ranked team -- and by a substantial margin the team furthest below the bubble line -- ever to get a bid.  Stanford also surpasses the previous mark for being furthest below the bubble line to get a bid.]
