If you look at the 8th column you will see the results from the weekend.

Some observations:
- The 14 teams below us, that are in as of now, did fairly well. They went 10-4... if you back out head to head it was 8-2.   They had 3 Q1 wins as a group.  But really its three different groups
- The teams that generally did well were 10th last in and above -- they had the three Q1 wins.   
- Of the 7 teams that were in the 9 last in that won, only one game was a Q2 win, the rest were generally worthless Q3 and Q4 wins.  Best win for amongst the last 9 in was at Vandy... so not much there.  Minnesota lost at Rutgers, but that is not considered a bad loss, just a Q2 loss.  But still when you are on the bubble these Q2 games can be key.

- [B]The teams below the line really struggled.  They went 1-5, with one Q3 win, and one bad loss.  [/B]Now there will likely be 2 or 3 bubble busters as usual, but that below the line is really thinning out, and certainly some of the last 8 in will lose some games.

After this weekend, I would say our chances of getting in with a 10-8 record (only beating Wake) is a little better then before because of everyone struggling below the line.   Say from 75% to about 80%.
