Lunardi currently has us as the last team in, leaping Ohio State who just took a bad loss to Iowa tonight

last 4 in he has UNC, Xavier, Indiana, and Oklahoma. Xavier plays a tough Marquette team tomorrow, Indiana sits at 19-13 with a noon game against #23 Oregon tomorrow, Oklahoma sits at 19-12 with a game against other bubble team Georgia tonight

Safe to say we are playing for our season tomorrow? Hard to imagine beating Wake and then a loss to Dook knocks us out. Our biggest bubble threat is probably Texas (currently first 4 out) who likely sneaks back in if they manage to beat #14 Texas A&M tomorrow

Boise playing San Diego State can have some ramifications as well.
 
How the heck can a team with a losing conference record, regardless of the conference, can they even be a bubble team? Yeah I’m talking about you Oklahoma. It’s not like they played auburn, Alabama or Tennessee every game.

I wouldn’t feel comfortable between UNC and Texas. Texas has 5 wins over NCAA tournament locks and maybe 6 if Oklahoma hangs on and wins (guessing that makes OU’s a near lock too).

I think they need to beat Duke. If by some miracle they avoid Duke, they need to get the auto bid.
 
Honestly not even sure beating Duke gets us in. Still think it's ACC title or bust. This is just one projection that has us as the last team in. There is still bid thief's, teams on the bubble with better opportunies and metrics. 1-11 against quad 1 isn't a pretty look. 2-11 isn't much better (but is better).

Although really unlikely, want Clemson and Louisville to win their quarterfinal games. As surprising as it may be, don’t want Stanford or SMU to even have a chance for some bid stealing tomfoolery.
