This Michigan story is just amazing. They must be exhausted, but I wouldn't bet against them vs. Minny or Sparty. It would be fun to see Tap and Pardon get another shot at them in the finals.

Surely they're already on fumes, but they've played VERY well over the last month. Glad NU got the W against them, because they're not really playing like a middle-of-the-road team right now.

If both Mary and Minny go down, then the B1G AQ will fall to a team that probably is outside the overall top 36(per the committe). Not good unless of course the winner is NU.

A10 going to Dayton But for NU, AQ in BIG just need to be ranked ahead of us, not in top 36 to not cause us a problem and even so with the win yesterday, still not an issue. Power rankings I put in yesterday showed that of the teams remaining (after yesterdays games), we are ranked 40th and all but MD are ranked a head of us. MD is ranked 41. As such, I don't see a problem though to be fair, it show us as having a 68% chance of getting a bid.

With so much talk of a plane crash, it was a train that actually crashed in the end.

Also if Minny goes down it is to MSU who is rated a head of us and if MD goes down, it would be to us.

Dayton lost, so the A10 AQ falls below the top 36 most likely.
If none of the teams 1-36 (per the committees final ranking) has an AQ they will get every single AL bid. Hopefully NU is one of them.

Honestly, if we made it to Sunday against Michigan ... I would root for us. But that's seriously great for Michigan.

But two conferences already have their AQ to teams ranked. WSU and Gonzaga. That means at least top 38. And they don't have to be in the top 38 . Only ones that hurt are those ranked behind us in multiple bid conferences that get the AQ. That said, my power ranking site showed NU with only a 68% chance of getting a bid.

Earth to Feli-- your quest is over. We are in the Dance! Go back to posting gibberish about Fitz now.

If the bubonic plague suddenly hits 300 teams, unaffected teams will get every single AL bid! Hopefully NU is one of them

Michigan is just playing the game! Their minds are free.

That plane skid was the ultimate Fitz "flush it" moment. And they're playing great as a result.
