It's March, and so it's almost time for the annual NCAA basketball tournament to get underway again. As this time approaches, a lot of confusing and outright malicious terminology gets viciously slung in the direction of casual fans, often leaving them bereft of eyes and missing large, noticeable chunks of their ears. Here at OMGSports, we're firmly committed to avoiding accidental facial mutilation, and so, to cut through some of the confusing inside terminology, we're offering a helpful service courtesy of official OMGSports correspondent John Madden.

JOHN MADDEN'S GUIDE TO COLLEGE BASKETBALL TERMINOLOGY

This week's term: "Teams On the Bubble."
You see, the thing about bubbles is that they just have no place in the world of football. Football is played on a field, and fields, you know, are made of grass and there just isn't a way for a field made of grass to produce bubbles while a football game is going on. They're just not getting the oxygen that they need for the photosynthesis.
So when you've got a team on the bubble, you've got a team that just isn't getting enough oxygen to maintain their photosynthesis. You've got guys making tackles, and you've got guys throwing touchdowns, and you've got guys who're just wearing their Brett Favre jerseys all the time without washin' 'em, and you know, that's okay. But there's only two teams in the Super Bowl at one time, so it's hard for a team that's a bubble team to get in the Super Bowl if they haven't already made it to the game. That's just good football.
