BUBBLE teams----- I have these 9 teams in right now
1. Mich St 21-9/8-7, RPI 23, 7 top 50 wins.......... Their resume looks good. They play at Wisc so 8-8 is likely. They just need to avoid a 1st round loss in Big 10 tourney and they should be in.
2. Villanova 19-9/8-7 RPI 19, 4 top 50 wins.......... IF they beat Syracuse they are in. They would have to lose next 2 games to be hurting
3. T Tech 19-11/8-7, RPI 46, 4top 50RPI wins (plus 3 vs top 20)............ If they win at Isu they are in. If they lose to Isu and go 1-1 in B12 tourney, i still think they sneak in.
4. Mo St 20-9/12-6, RPI 37, 3 top 50 wins ............ They need to avoid losing their 1st game in Mo Vall tourney. They do that and they will likely get in
5. Illinois 21-9/9-6, RPI 32,4 top 50 wins ............. A win at Iowa and they would be in. A loss and they would probably need a win in B10 tourney to be feeling good.
6. K-State 20-10/9-6 RPI 60, 2 top 50 wins.......... Need to beat OU and Tech in B12 and they are in. A loss to Tech and they will be sweating it out
7. W Virginia 19-8/8-7 RPI 55, 2 top 50 wins........ need to beat Cincy and win 1st round BEast game otherwise they won't be in
8. 2nd team from the Colonial. 3 teams are in the running. 1 will likely win the conf and other 2 will battle for an at large
* Old Dominion 23-7/15-3 RPI 36, 3 wins over top 50
* VCU 24-6/16-2 RPI 59
* Drexel 21-7/12-5 RPI 44, wins at Nova and at Cuse
9. Purdue 19-10/8-7 RPI 43, 5 top 50 wins, only 2 road wins........ they need to beat N'western and win a game in B10 tourney to feel good
------- LAST 4 out-----------
1. Georgia Tech 18-10/6-8 RPI 52, 6 top 50 wins ......... they have 2 huge home games (UNC, BC). They win both they look good. They split and they will need to do some work in ACC tourney
2. Georgia 16-11/8-7, RPI 54, 2 top 50 wins, only 3 road wins. They must beat Tenn and win 1 SEC game or they don't have a chance
3. 3rd Colonial team. I think Colonial is only getting 2 (like last year). A 3rd team will be left out like Hofstra was last year
4. Michigan 20-10/8-7, RPI 50, 4 top 50 wins, only 3 wins away from home.......... Must beat Ohio St and then they probably still need to win a B10 tourney game.
Next 4 out ----
1. OK ST 19-9/6-8 ........... need to win next 3 games to have a chance
2. FSU 18-11/ 6-9............ must win next 2 games just to have a chance
3. Umass 22-7/12-3..........Must win next 3 games to reach conf finals to have a shot
4. Bama 20-9/7-8......... must win next 2 games and maybe 3 to have a shot
