Okay, I tried to take the rooting interests posts and consolidate them. There are 3 categories. The games are listed by start time under each category. The Vegas favorite is listed with the point spread behind each game. I wanted this information laid out in this fashion for myself so I figured I would post it in case anyone else wanted to see it or cared.


Iowa over Michigan State (8:00) = Michigan State -5


Bubble Implications

St Louis over Charlotte = St. Louis Win
NC State over Virginia = NC State Win
Butler over LaSalle = Butler Win
Tennessee over Alabama – Alabama Win
UTEP over Southern Miss = Southern Miss Win

Duke over Maryland (6:00) = Duke -13
Vanderbilt over Kentucky (6:30) = Kentucky -6.5
Temple over UMASS (8:00) = Temple -5
Missouri over Ole Miss (9:00) = Missouri -5


Bid Stealers

Miami over BC = Miami Win
Florida over LSU = Florida Win

Memphis over Tulsa (5:30) = Memphis -11.5
VCU over St Joes (5:30) = VCU -7
Oregon over Utah (10:30 p.m.) = Oregon -7


RPI Help

Indiana over Illinois = Indiana Win
Wisconsin over Michigan = Wisconsin Win

Nebraska over Ohio State (5:30) = Ohio State -13.5
Iowa St over Kansas (6:30) = Kansas -6
Texas Pan Am over Chicago St (7:30) = No Line

I agree with Tennessee over Bama, though not everyone does.

I don't see much impact either way, but whats the reasoning behind Indiana?
 








I guess I am one of those on the other side of the Tennessee vs. Alabama game. Tennessee is currently one of the last four in on a lot of brackets so I would like to knock them down to the bubble and I don't think Alabama is automatically in with a win so Iowa would have a chance to pass both with a win tonight. The projected RPIs for all 3 would be in the mid to upper sixties with an Alabama win so our RPI won't hurt us in the evaluation.

I guess I can see that, but I honestly think Tennessee is one of the top bubble teams and they have a decent resume. So I'd rather have them in, and knock Bama out as opposed to having both in the conversation.

I was adding times and point spreads for myself so I went ahead and posted it in a new thread. I was doing it anyway for myself and didn't want to corrupt your thread. Don't tell me you're going to say we have too many threads on here...

To get in we need to get someone out. The most likely candidates are the last four in and everyone has Tennessee playing one of the play in games on Tuesday. Moving someone down (Kentucky, Tennessee, LaSalle, etc.) must happen for us to get in. From my point of view the more of these that stay in play for us passing them the better.

Space on here is filling up fast. :D
 


We want Illinois to win over Indiana?

I'm going to be in the minority but this IMO will be a very close game and upset is very possible.

Agree with ames. Although the scenario you listed is possible, I think it's also likely that both would be ahead of us if bama won. Go Big Orange.

In an ideal world, Alabama wins and then gets demolished by Florida
