Bracketology 3/2/2023

It was another interesting night on the bubble with Pittsburgh being the biggest loser. The Panthers were not competitive in a Q3 loss at Notre Dame and I think they are closer to the cutline than some realize. They close the regular season with a crucial game at Miami.

Utah State and Penn State were the day’s bubble winners. Utah State is once again without a Q1 win after Nevada tumbled outside the NET top 30 but I think their resume is just strong enough to get over the line. Penn State is still in the conversation after a road win over Northwestern and could really use a win over Maryland at home this weekend.
