2 days left until Selection Sunday and the bubble begins to
tighten. Right now I have 60 locks
including automatic bids. Everybody from
Arizona State down in this morning’s bracket is locked in. That leaves 8 spots for 20 teams, not
including any non-bubble teams winning major conferences. The 20 teams can be split into 5 groups.
Group 1 – In and
somewhat comfortable: Xavier, Dayton,
Nebraska, St. Joseph’s
These teams just need to avoid getting blown out and they
should be good. The tricky teams are
Dayton and St. Joe’s who play each other.
Group 2 – In and
need a win: Providence and Tennessee
It’s all about momentum
Group 3 – In with
no games left: BYU and SMU
Nothing they can do but sit and watch
Group 4 – Out but
can play their way in: Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina State, Florida
State, Toledo*, Southern Miss*
We’ll be watching these games closely today
Group 5 – Out and
just watching with little hope:
Arkansas, St. John’s, UWGB, California
This is not the group you want to be in.
*Most likely need the auto-bid.
