Friday rooting guide

[DawgatAuburn]

Beat Tennessee and we are only worried about seeding. Lose to UT and there will still be some anxiety heading into Sunday, especially if some of the teams in the list below win another game.


Purdue over Michigan State
UConn over St. John's
(Both are probably in, but like us, if they won today they would be locks)

Kentucky over Texas A&M
NC State over Virginia
Washington State over Colorado
Marquette over Providence
Colorado State over New Mexico
(These are the bubbliest teams still playing. The more losses the better.)

Illinois over Ohio State
North Carolina over Pitt
(These two are on the fringe. Not sure if they are really bubble teams or bid stealers. Not sure either gets in without the auto bid. Regardless, time for them to lose.)

Not sure I agree that St. John's is a bid stealer. But sure, count them as one.

My concern is at least one of these bubble teams will win today. Is it enough to get them out of Dayton? Whose bye would they take?

I will feel a lot better if we beat Tennessee.

Let me add Indiana over Nebraska. It keeps a bid-stealer alive, but hurts Nebraska's .Net

Now that we are comfortably in and alive in Nashville, I hope A&M beats Kentucky to free up some tickets in Nashville for State fans.

Feels good to not be worrying about other results around the country. The guys took care of business themselves.
