Quick Notes

This will be updated daily up until Selection Sunday.

Let’s discuss some of the teams squarely on the bubble:

Creighton – Creighton got crushed in the semis of the Missouri Valley tournament but I still think they have a good shot for an at-large bid.  They have a top 40 RPI and it’s not often you see a 26 win team get left out.  The Blue Jays shared the regular season MVC crown with an impressive 14-4 record.  They also own a decisive win over Dayton and fellow bubble team New Mexico.

Temple – The Owls reappear in my bracket after URI suffered a stunning loss at home to UMass.  You can only give out so many bids to the BCS teams, and Temple tied for 2nd place in the A10 regular season.  They have a win over Tennessee, and a big road win over Penn St. who is also one of my last teams in.  Temple’s RPI is in the top 40 so an at-large is definitely possible.

Miami Fl. – I’ve had the Hurricanes in for much of the season but at this point I have to leave them out.  Their best non conference win is over Kentucky, who won’t make the tournament.  They are lacking quality wins, and a sweep over Boston College and a measly 7-9 ACC record just isn’t going to cut it.  Miami needs to win a couple games in the conference tourney to have a shot.
