Last updated in the morning on 3/9/12.

The regular season is now in the books for the 2011-12 college basketball season, and we now are one week away from selection Sunday. Some conference tournaments have already ended with four teams clinching their bid, while most are just about to start. Remember, there are 68 spots available, comprised of 31 automatic bids to conference champions and 37 at-large bids. Here is a comprehensive look at the major leagues in Division-I (rankings are current AP poll)...

A lot can change over the next week...

The town of Vicksburg, Mississippi was seized earlier today be a drunken Will Muschamp. In honor of Presidents Day and his favorite president, Ulysses S. Grant, Muschamp drank three bottles of whiskey and then marched northwest, burning and pillaging almost everything in his path until reaching the famous Civil War town that sits on the Mississippi River. Muschamp was heard yelling, ''IF WE CONTROL THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI, WE CONTROL RECRUITING IN THE SOUTH!''
