This Year's Bubble

This year's bubble is already making me sad. There's no Colonial team making a play, no MAC team in the discussion, and more importantly no SWAC team making waves. OK, I made that last one up. But the real story is that 95% of the bubble is made up of the mid-level BCS conferences. I don't know about you but the prospect of the Big 10 getting 6 teams in or the ACC getting 7 isn't all that enticing. Who's interested in that 5-12 matchup when it's West Virginia versus Virginia Tech? Wouldn't a West Virginia versus George Mason be more exciting? Of course this isn't much better than last year when the committee decided matching up Gonzaga at Davidson and Western Kentucky at Drake would be a great idea. There is one positive on this and that's if a lock gets knocked off in their conference tournament the bubble will lose one of the fringe BCS teams. Teams that fit this bill are Gonzaga, Memphis, and Utah.
