Unfortunately this is not for Syracuse right now, but for those that still want to follow it at a national level. They can post here.
Summary of last week below.
You will note there is a lot more yellow than Blue. That means the bubble did good they went 20-10 in term of teams I was tracking. And in reality UCLA and Texas made rapid ascension up as well with 2 wins, so its arguably 24-10. When you add that many of these wins were P5 teams (Q1+Q2 wins), it is hard for a team on the outside to gain much ground (for example even if we had beat UNC).
Teams highlighted in Pink are those trending up or down from the beginning of the week.
Last Week's Winners:
A number of P5+BE are trending in the right direction now
USC, Oklahoma, Providence, all had strong 2-0 weeks and Q1 weeks, to really solidify their resume (up from around 75% to close to 100% of the brackets)
Stanford went from 42% (first out) to 83% (4th last in(, on the srength of a 2-0 record and a Q1 win.
UCLA and Texas were in on less than 5% of the brackets last week, but after solid good weeks, go up to 55% (second last team in) and 20% (fifth team out) respectively.
Last Week's Losers
MID MAJORS - as you can note above the big winners are all P5+BE teams that went 2-0 including quality and upset wins. Contra to this Rhode Island and Utah St had upset losses.
Richmond goes 2-0, but with the Power Teams moving up, they actually lose ground (38% to 26%)
There was a few weeks earlier in conference season where the top 25 was basically winning 85% of their games. This reduced the strength of the bubble in terms of power conferences, but it shifted in the past few weeks as they suffered a number of losses. That really hurts the mid-majors especially when they lose as well.
