Bracketologists remind me of having an argument with the wife.  The bad things you did, or the good things you didn't do in the past are always the first things brought up.  All the good things you've done recently don't mean squat.  The only way to get back in her good graces is to win the lottery, i.e. win the B1G Tourney.

 

Do we have the same wife?

Boy I am so glad that Washington is (likely) going to lose this game to Stanford. It is a travesty that they are still at or above Nebraska on the bubble. Not after tonight.

 

Actually... probably will be haha!

I feel like someone recently told us losing to the worst team in your conference is bad for the bubble

 

Only being in the Big 10... I mean the league is wayyyyyy down compared to other leagues.

I find myself busy on Saturdays and like to have a condensed list to refer to for the very most important games of the day. Here is that list. @HuskerFever, I really appreciate you doing all of the dirty work on this each day to give me a list to start from.


Couple other thoughts from me -

- Baylor/TCU - not tough at all, definitely need TCU like you chose

- Also agree with Va Tech over Louisville

- Disagree on Kansas St versus Oklahoma. Kansas St is still closer to the bubble and an OU win would overall help Nebraska's chances more. Don't think this is a high leverage game for us, though, so I removed it from this condensed list.
