The biggest bubble result of the last two days was Michigan’s demolition of Purdue. It’s by far the best result of the Wolverines’ season and brought their NET up to 30 and elevated them into my field for the first time in a month. They take the place of Saint Louis, who lost to St. Bonaventure. Out west, Colorado State got a nice win against Fresno State to move up to the 8 line and BYU avoided disaster in Los Angeles against Loyola Marymount.
