The Ever Shifting Bubble
Through games at 5:20 p.m. EST here is how the bubble is changing...
Mississippi State and Michigan have fallen completely off. Arkansas is flying up fast, but still on the outside, looking in. Oklahoma State is winning early right now. A win over Texas could catapult them up the list. Kansas State played Kansas close, but lost. Arkansas's victory certainly doesn't help the Wildcats. Purdue's loss to Ohio State won't kill them. Nor would an Illinois loss to Wisconsin (though Illinois can't afford to get lown out here in the last nine minutes of the game).
So...
Final Six In:
1. Old Dominion
2. Georgia Tech
3. Illinois
4. Purdue
5. Drexel
6. Texas Tech
First Eight Out:
1. Missouri State
2. Florida State
3. Arkansas
4. Kansas State
5. Oklahoma State
6. Air Force
7. West Virginia
8. Stanford
But what do I know? I'm not on the selection committee. If I were on the selection committee this is how I would want it to play out, but of course there are many factors being discussed by the committee right now. That, and they have more information to work with than I have. But, this is my best guess as of 5:20 p.m. EST.
