That was amazing last night. Thought I'd get to bed early to get rested for the St Pattys Day parade on Saturday so was watching it in bed. As regulation was ending I saw New Mexico-Wyoming tipping off on CBS College and thought jokingly to myself that I'd probably end up watching that game and mess up my getting to bed early plans. By the time the game ended there were under 4 minutes left in New Mexico-Wyoming so sure enough I did wind up watching NM choke away their at large chances.
Still five spots up for grabs although San Diego St has to be feeling pretty good right now with a road win last night.
Below them I think there are four spots for these five teams:
South Carolina
Florida
Temple
USC
Penn St
If all five win today it is going to be a very tough call.
Still hanging on:
UAB - If they beat Tulsa and lose close to Memphis they will push their RPI into the top 40. They scheduled non-conference exactly as the committee likes and have a road win at Arizona to hang their hat on.
VT - Need to beat NC and even then a 3rd loss to FSU might doom them. Win two more and they are in.
Auburn - If they were to beat Florida and then Tennessee to get to the SEC Championship game they'd be almost impossible to deny a bid.
Maryland - Need to beat Wake and then may even need to beat Duke or BC to feel safe.
Miss St/Kentucky - Both need to get to their conference championship to have a shot, even then they might need to get the auto bid.
Arizona, Creighton, St Marys, Davidson, New Mexico, UNLV, and Providence all have no more chances to impress the committee and have to hope for all the bubble teams with games remaining to blow up to get back in the field.
