Still the One

Only ESPN's Joe Lunardi correctly guessed the field of 65.

This afternoon, Georgia defeated Arkansas to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament -- and leave only three bids for the pundits' final seven teams.

After the game, ESPN's Joe Lunardi updated his bracket, replacing Virginia Tech with Georgia. Yahoo Sports' Mike Huguenin and Bob McClellan also updated their bracket, replacing Oregon and Virginia Tech with Georgia and St. Joseph's.

The selection committee then went to work, inviting Oregon, St. Joseph's and Villanova to participate in March Madness at the expense of Arizona State, Illinois State, Ohio State and Virginia Tech.

The result?

All 65: ESPN's Joe Lunardi correctly guessed all 65 teams.

64 of 65: CBS Sports' Gary Parrish, Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy and Yahoo Sports' Mike Huguenin and Bob McClellan missed Oregon. Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel missed Villanova.

63 of 65: Fox Sports' Jeff Goodman missed Oregon and Villanova.
