    3/10 Games

    Well, yesterday was not a great day for eliminating too many bubbles, plus the GW loss took away an at-large. Today there does not seem to be many more bubble teams at play but here are the few I note:

    Kentucky vs Alabama (Bama is 17-11, a loss puts them in the mid-40's RPI and sweating)
    Florida vs Arkansas (a big Florida margin of victory could help)
    Texas A&M vs Colorado (elimination game)
    Boston College vs Maryland (big win by Eagles could raise doubts)
    Oregon vs California (Cal is probably going to slip in, a big Duck win might cause concern)
    Wisconsin vs Indiana (same thing, a big UW-Madison win and ??)

    Teams that we as UNI should really root for:
    Iowa to win the Big 10 (difficult for some to accept, but I like the Hawks just not the Jihadic Fans)
    LSU to win the SEC (Geaux Tigers!)
    Bucknell over Holy Cross (Bucknell may be sweating at-large hopes but their W at 'Cuse should get them in, taking another bid from someone)

    For the Valley to get 4 at-large (sorry, I think Creighton is done after yesterday):
    Nevada must win the WAC and San Diego State needs to win the MWC

    I actaully think we may want to see Arkansas beat Florida. Arkansas is in with 21+ wins in a BCS conference. Florida is in front of UNI in the RPI, and a loss could drop them below us.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

      Looks good.

      Its not likely they would win their tournaments, but we might as well root against these teams that are only in if they win their tourneys in the big conferences too: Wake, Virginia, Nebraska, Texas Tech, Okie St, PSU, Minnesota, Vandy, So. Carolina.

        I will throw another one out there. It might be a long shot, but NC State has an RPI of 41, right behind Creighton. They play Wake Forest this afternoon, who has an RPI near 100. Would a loss to WF be enough to put them in danger?

          Don't look now but NC St trails Wake by 17 at the half. You have to think if NC St gets blown out that some doubt enters the committee's mind. A loss probably drops their RPI near 50.

            An absolute beautiful game at the half between Indiana and Wisconnsin. The score is 19-15 Wisconsin with get this ZERO assists between the 2 teams.

              I assume Digger will rip on the Big 10 now, given how he ripped the Valley for their low scoring games in the tournament.

                Stick a fork in them Colorado is dead. You do not lose a must win game by 33 points. Also, I can't believe I am saying this but thank goodness Duke came back to win or Wake and Miami would of been playing for a shot in the ACC title game. Go Duke on Sat. Wow I actually said go Duke.
