• Boston College @ Miami (FL).

  • If the Eagles win: Miami would dip below .500 in a conference that won’t get more than five bids (but could only get four).

  • If the ‘Canes win: They would be 21-8 and have won six of their past seven.

• Mississippi State @ Vanderbilt.

  • If the Bulldogs win: They’ll be 12-3 in conference and will have zero shot of being left out by the committee. Lock ‘em up.

  • If the Commies win: It will continue to hurt a 20-win team in MSU, who has beaten no one out of conference.

• Texas A&M @ Baylor.
  • If the Aggies win: They’d have to move in as a lock.
  • If the Bears win: They’ll be closer, but still will need a win in the Big XII tournament. A home loss to sketchy A&M would put them out in my book.
• Kentucky @ South Carolina.
  • If the ‘Cats win: Jeez, 11 conference wins would be hard to ignore. You see Kentucky, and you see a team that could run to the Sweet 16, or get bounced by 16 points in their first game.
  • If the ‘Cocks win: What a bigger game this is than you think—if Kentucky drops to 16-12 tonight, they’d have to make a run to the SEC title game, in my opinion, to get an at-large.
