New Unbeatens Thread! 12 teams remaining!

[Chi-Boiler]

Purdue is now one of 12 remaining undefeated teams. Someone else can post the map again if they want. Interestingly, 5 conferences each have 2 teams, plus Weber State and San Francisco. Here is a list of each team's next 3 games, which may whittle a couple down, especially with some playing conference games. I'll put them in somewhat power ranking order. One head-to-head matchup coming this week with Arizona and Wyoming.

Best challenges to undefeated teams coming up:
Baylor (8-0) vs Villanova
Arkansas (8-0) @ Oklahoma 12/11 (OK dropped Florida from the undefeated)
Arizona (7-0) vs Wyoming (8-0) 12/8 and then @ Illinois 12/11 (tough road for UA)
Iowa St (8-0) vs Iowa 12/9
Minnesota (7-0) vs Michigan St 12/8
Colorado St (9-0) vs Alabama (N) 12/21 ('Bama just beat Gonzaga)
Weber St (8-0) @ Washington St 12/8

The other 4 undefeated teams have relatively easier games.

 

[Chi-Boiler]

8pm - Arkansas (-18) vs Charlotte
9pm - USC (-19.5) vs Eastern Kentucky

That's it for tonight. Should stay at 12.

Iowa State and Minnesota both have tough games coming up. Based on how they played us, Iowa has a real chance to beat ISU. Baylor-Villanova will be a tough game, too.

Obviously Arizona or Wyoming will play each other. This should be interesting to watch.

Plenty of good college basketball games tonight, and 4 involving unbeatens. The number could easily get to 8 tonight.

8pm - Minnesota (+7) vs Michigan State. Can you imagine being an undefeated power 5 team getting 7 points at home?
9pm - Wyoming (+16.5) @ Arizona
9pm - San Francisco (-9) vs Fresno State
9pm - Weber State (+7.5) at Washington State

I can't imagine being undefeated and still getting 16.5 points (even in a road game). I guess it's just Wyoming's luck that they're playing at another undefeated team's place.

I don't get to say this often, but I'll say it now, "Go Spartans!"

Yeah, I wince when I think those words.

No. Minnesota's record is only a product of their schedule. In all likelihood they'll get curb stomped by Michigan State tonight, but I'd much rather Minnesota win. When all is said and done, I think MSU, UM, and Illinois will be our primary contenders for the B1G championship. Best to see Fizzo take the L.

Minnesota not looking too good and can't hit the broadside of the Barn as Michigan State has controlled most of the first half.

As an aside, it's much more relaxing watching Bo do other conference games without the Boilers.

Minnesota gets guys open on offense off-ball but no one seems to be looking at the open guy.

Iowa State set to claim a lot of territory with Minnie and probably Wyoming going down.

Big land grabs coming in the West.

Iowa giving 5.5 points at #17 Iowa State today?

 

[Chi-Boiler]

And we are down to 9. Colorado State and Iowa State were the big gainers on the map last night with Wyoming, Minnesota and Weber going down. Only 2 games today:

6pm - Purdue (-13.5) at Rutgers BTN - Line opened 12.5, close to what I expected, then has gone up a point during the morning.

8pm - Iowa State (+5.5) vs Iowa ESPN2 - Surprised this wasn't closer to a pick'em, but I guess Iowa is getting some cred for keeping it close against Purdue without Keegan, who is back.

Central times above, right?

Remember the rumors around Keady going to San Fran back in the day? 12/11 looks like a big day, LSU vs Ga Tech and Ark vs Oklahoma (lost to Butler though. Might grab the colonies with an LSU loss.

 

[Jbigler1986]

Most likely yes.
