In terms of teams above the line, there are 6 teams on the matrix that still seem uncertain to various degrees (near locks or closer to the line)

The following table is out of 92 brackets

Pitt beat Georgia Tech yesterday, which is what it had to do.  Personally I think what was most important for them this week was avoiding a bad loss.   I think they will now get in.  That being said 13 of 92 on the matrix still have them out, so a win today against Duke makes them a pure lock.

Utah St plays NET#50 New Mexico tonight in MWC quarters.   If they win it may be enough, if they lose they will certainly be uneasy.   Also not sure if the committee will respect the MWC metrics this year or not... its always a mystery in that regard, and what the MWC did last year in the tourney may have not helped them,

Rutgers (69 of 92) plays Michigan today.   If they lose they are certainly not going to be resting easy come Selection Sunday.   They are currently last team in per the matrix, and with teams like Oklahoma St and Arizona St still alive, and potential for a bubble buster they could be the team falling out.

Nevada (87 of 92) plays Q2 San Jose State.  See my comments on Utah St regarding concern for MWC.   Its certainly possible they can absorb this loss, but its best for them not to test it.

Penn St is in on 83 of 92.    It plays Q1 Illinois today - a win puts them in.   A loss put them in the pack of teams that some will survive, a few will not.
