Thursday Update

The bubble is clearing up after yesterday’s games which saw only 2 teams currently out of the bracket win.  Those wins came from Auburn and Oklahoma while California, Indiana, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Boise State, and Oklahoma State all lost.  At this point I really believe those teams are eliminated.  That being said I’m not sure Auburn and Oklahoma have done enough to get in.

On the right side of the bubble, both NC State and UCF won while Texas and SMU lost.  NC State and UCF will move to lock status.  Texas and SMU appear to still be in the bracket but bid stealers are coming for them.  Also, any of the last remaining teams with an at-large chance may be able to leapfrog them.  Those teams include the Auburn and Oklahoma as well as New Mexico. 

Congrats to McNeese State, Lehigh, and Idaho on getting their auto-bids.  Conference Championships are done until Saturday
