16 Bubblers: A Snapshot (warning: statistical data)
Here's a snapshot of 16 teams currently sharing the bubble with the Gophers. There are other bubble teams, but these are the ones Gopher fans should be paying attention to the most. Please note, I'm still not calling Illinois a bubble team, but if the Illini lose both games this week (certainly a possibility), they will be on the bubble next Monday.
Included for each team is their record, RPI, SOS, road/neutral record (# of conference road wins in parentheses), top-50 wins & my current bracket status (in or out). Teams are listed in alphabetical order.

***As you can see, in some cases these teams look a lot alike. Gets even more difficult to differentiate when it gets down to the final couple spots, especially when looking at the top-50 wins.
