There are some big games on Saturday. The ACC is at the top of the list with perhaps the biggest game. That game is Duke vs Miami Fla. Miami had the worst record in the league for the ACC and knocked off Wake Forrest and Va Tech. Va Tech looks to still get in and Wake was a bubble team. Losing to Miami may have knocked them out. If Miami wins, that would put them into the ACC final against either NC ST or Ga Tech. Ga Tech is a bubble team that could earn a spot with a win today. But either way, a Miami win would give a team that wasn't in the field of 64 a slot, bumping someone else out. Live long Jimmy V.

65 teams will get invited to the big dance. There are 31 conferences with automatic bids. That leaves 34 at-large bids. Most of those conferences will be won by a team that should get an at large bid. What causes some teams to be bumped off the bubble is those conferences that someone wins that wouldn't normally be invited.
