So for today, we really need to pay attention to the following teams:

Team with last 4 Byes: USC, Boise State, West Virginia, Auburn

Teams not named MSU in Last 4 in: Nevada, Wisconsin, Penn State

Teams First 4 Out: Arizona State, North Carolina, Michigan, Utah State

These are the 11 teams that we are really in competition with for the final few spots in the tournament.

Next week will shift to tournament play and potential bid stealing. But a win today will likely put us in the Last 4 Byes. We also need to watch our Q1 and Q2 wins. Need teams like Marquette, TCU, Arkansas, Texas A&M to do well. A Texas A&M win over Bama would be huge.
