When did Northwestern enter the conversation? Pre-injury Rutgers, maybe
Oops, sorry, yeah, I think you're right about Clemson and Utah State. They would probably struggle to get 8 wins in the Big 12.

It comes down to the argument then on which team deserves to get in, a team that won alot of games like Clemson, or the team that played a tougher schedule.

Rutgers jumping on Purdue and I'm just not into hoping ISU gets them or someone similar first round.

Agree, their non-conference was a joke and they have two bad losses to Southern Illinois and UCF.

Most of their big 12 wins were beating up on us twice, Oklahoma, and Tech. They were 0-8 against the top 4. That's a NIT resume if I've ever seen one.

Penn State, Rutgers, Utah State , Clemson should all be ahead of them in the bubble order.

As of 11:30 this morning, Lunardi has Oklahoma State as his first team out. I agree with that.

Might be too early but are there any bid stealers with a legitimate chance? Nova and DePaul lost last night, ACC seems pretty chalk so far.

Only one I can think of is Ohio State at this point.

Oregon could steal one. On the bubble now.

Still to early but I would say:

Oregon
Vanderbilt
American Conference champ that isn't Houston or Memphis.

Houston in a battle with... East Carolina??
I think Houston is a good team but I also think their numbers are inflated from the teams they have played.
Been floating around #1 all year, but they definitely haven't played a very tough schedule. They're good, but IMO they've got a 3 seed resume.
