Some key results from today
[B]
Above the Line

San Jose St beats Nevada  - [/B]Nevada was on the bubble line entering this (somewhere in the last 4 in).  On a neutral court this is a Q2 loss (so not brutal)  They are not clearly out, but will be one of those teams that could go either way Selection Sunday, or be forced out if the remaining bubble teams do better than expected (or bubble busters)
[B]
Duke beats Pitt - [/B]Pitt was 3rd last out entering today per Matrix (86 of 100).    Only a Q1 loss.   I think they will get in, but they are certainly not a lock entering Selection Sunday.
[B]
Miss St beats Florida[/B] - Miss St was 5th last in (92 out of 100) entering today,     With Pitt and Nevada losing above, this Q2 win will make them feel even more solid.   In really good shape at this point.
[B]
Rutgers beats Michigan - [/B]As noted above, Rutgers was last team in on the matrix.   Get a Q2 win over Michigan.    Not a lock, but in pretty good shape tonight compared to this morning.

Below the Line[/B]

With the losses of Nevada and Pitt (even if neither were bad) will anyone take advantage?   It doesn't appear so.

First team out Oklahoma St is down 9 vs Texas.
UNC is losing by nine to Virginia.
Michigan lost to Rutgers.
Wisconsin is done.
It could be Arizona St playing tonight vs USC.

I would also add that while Nevada and Utah St are above the line, the treatment of the MWC is always a bit of a mystery by the committee from year to year.
