The biggest winner since my last update is clearly Maryland- the Terrapins won back to back road games against Illinois and Indiana. These are their first Q1 wins of the season and the thrashing of Illinois in Champaign is one of the best wins any team in the country has. Maryland has had great computer numbers all season and is starting to build the resume to back it up.

I have Maryland in an 8/9 game playing UConn. In contrast to Maryland, the Huskies are a team going in the wrong direction right now. Their non-conference wins over Baylor and Gonzaga have lost their shine. In a weak Big East, there are not many opportunities left to move the needle. They are one more loss away from a real bubble conversation.
