SOURCES - The resume summaries are snips I took from Warren Nolan's website.

Starting this up because we won.  We still have some work to do to get close to the bubble again.
1 of 89 had us in before today, probably will be a couple more after today.   We might be able to get to double digits with a win over NC St.   But being in the ACC sudden jumps are hard to come by due to lack of Q1 win availability.

I will summarize the results of teams around the bubble line, and add in the odd comment.  Will be over several posts.

[B]Teams based on Bracket Matrix (% of In, Not Average Seeding)

10th Last in, Michigan (97% have in)

A big Q1 win for Michigan today.  They will be off the "last 10 in" list next week.   They are a team that I believe could get in at 17-15, as absurd as that sounds.

Big Ten teams have such an absurd advantage right now since 12 teams are in the NET top 50.
Any home win is a Q1 or Q2 win.  **
Any road win is a Q1 win **
Bad losses just will not happen **
There is basically no middling teams in conference that can sting you with a Q3 loss (for example losing to Notre Dame at home)
An 8-12 team in the BIG, will have many Q1+Q2 wins.

** With the exception of Nebraska and Northwestern,  but those teams are really bad.

[B]#9 Last In, Rhode Island (97% in)[/B]

A road win today, but just a Q3.

Decent resume.   The key for them the rest of the way is to avoid Q3 losses.   (One tricky game may be St. Louis at home)
They still play Dayton twice.   Win one of the 2 games, and do nothing stupid they are good.
