Bubble Talk
The last two at-large bids would go to San Francisco and Temple. And because of the way the numbers fall, two of the last four would would play-in on the 11 line and two would play-in on the 12 line. The model indicates Wofford, Lipscomb and New Mexico State would all get in as at-larges regardless of whether they stumble in their conferences. UCF, Clemson and Toledo moving up. San Fran finally cracks the field. Minnesota hanging on by a thread after getting jobbed by the officials in Lincoln last night.
