BubbleGrid for Thursday, March 12
See here for a description of the BubbleGrid.
NEC Player of the Year Jeremy Chappell leads Robert Morris to the dance. There's no truth the rumor they had pancakes at Prince's house after the game.
But seriously, Thursday is when bubbles start bursting for some teams. Texas A&M was knocked out of the Big XII tourney by Texas Tech and Mike Singletary's 29 consecutive (?) points. The Aggies should be safe unless a rash of bubble teams crash their conference finals.
Notes:
- Hover over a value for more information
- Shaded teams are predicted to be in the field
- Teams with a * are the automatic qualifier (AQ) for their conference, or the projected AQ if the bid is not final
- Teams are listed in order of their selection confidence by the CTD model. In other words, the last shaded non-AQ team is the last team in, and the first non-shaded team is the first team out.
- The RPI only considers games against Division I opponents, so all records listed include only games against D-I opponents.
