Not a lot to note so far this week, and not a lot of important Thursday matches today. Texas A&M losing to Alabama was a big win for other bubble teams.
Today:
Pepperdine plays at Saint Mary's and LMU plays at Pacific. After already dropping some unexpected WCC contests, they need to avoid any more.
Colorado State plays at San Jose State - Colorado State already lost the 1st meeting. San Jose State lost to Air Force last week - which really hurt their at-large chances.

Wisconsin/Illinois is kind of a big deal. Illinois needs a big upset and this week (MN/Wisky) they have their last two Top 25 matches and last two matches against tourney teams at home. Illini winning is kind of a longshot, but they are running out of chances and may catch Wisky coming down off a high. |

This match may be delayed on figstats as it's not listed on their "Today's Games". I should have checked NCAA scoreboard. Was this date moved from its original scheduling? |

That would at worst make them Big Ten co-champs and good enough to be considered the best B1G option in top seeding. |

Does Miami beating Ga Tech shake things up? Do they get in now? What about K State Beaton ISU?

Does Miami beating Ga Tech shake things up? Do they get in now? What about K State Beaton ISU? Miami's RPI just shot up to 35. They are in unless the RPI falls back down significantly. K-State's RPI is still too low (70). Unless they can find a way to win at Baylor (highly doubtful) I don't think they'll be able to get within bubble range. |
