Last night's matches muddle "next tier"

[Deleted]

Do we have a good handle on the top 16 seeds yet? Last night's results didn't make things much clearer either.

LSU -- tough stretch coming up with Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee, although the last two are at home.

Minnesota--must beat Purdue and Wisconsin at home, I believe, to keep their hopes alive.

Tennessee--bad loss at Kentucky and now Alabama, Arkansas and LSU, all on the road.

Cal Poly--big match with UCSB on the 14th.

BYU--can they do it without beating Utah? Can't afford to lose to anyone else. Stanford win helps. Kansas loss is a killer.

Santa Clara--still have a shot if they can right the ship, especially if they win the WCC. @ San Diego 10/21.

Ohio State--can't lose to Illinois in Champaign this weekend. Loss at home to Minnesota doesn't help.

Ohio-- strength of schedule not there. They finish with Notre Dame and Louisville, but both teams down this year.

Missouri--3rd in the Big12 good enough or do they have to beat Texas, again?

San Diego--if they win the WCC?

Anyone else in the running?

I suppose Wisconsin and Purdue are not locks.

I think if Purdue gets a split this weekend on the road vs UW /UM they are going to be in a great position to be a top 16 seed. They already swept at the Michigans which won't be easy, and will host UW/UM. This is a big weekend for those three.

Tennessee will be OK. KY caught them at the right time as UT is in transition to get more out of the new players. I do think the SEC is much better this year.
