Bubble Games

Early Bubble Games:
LaSalle – Davidson:  It’s a shame to even think Davidson is on the bubble.  They only have 4 losses when at full strength, VCU, Richmond, North Carolina, and Virginia.  This is a tournament team.

Memphis – Temple:  The Owls are right on the bubble.  They more than likely fall out with a loss.

Penn State – Purdue: due to other teams losing Purdue is probably safe.  A win makes them a lock

VCU-Richmond:  With the losses of Illinois, Texas A&M, etc, the Spiders are back on the radar.  This would be a huge win.

Auburn – LSU:  LSU is the SEC’s equivalent of Purdue

Later Bubble Games:
Indiana – Maryland:  Indiana can probably stay in with a close loss.  A blowout might leave a bad taste in the committee’s mouth

Houston – Tulsa:  The Hurricane’s are the biggest bubble team out there.  Poll 50 Bracketologists and 25 will have them in and 25 will have them out.  I have them out now and I don’t think a win here is enough to get them over the hump

UCLA – Arizona:  Win and you are in.  Lose and wait to see what Tulsa, Temple, etc do


Wyoming – Boise State:  I think Boise State is a lock but you never know if Larry Nance goes off.
