All of us (The top G5 schools) are in the discussion until we lose. Lets just take care of business and let the others rule themselves out.

GO HUSKIES!

We could use a Tar Heel win over ECU this weekend.

If NIU beats Arkansas (30% chance in my estimation) -- it would put NIU in the driver's seat, neck and neck with ECU. But they'd have to have convincing wins to make up for ECU's tougher schedule + Arkansas to do decently well in the SEC, while VaTech not winning their division of the ACC.

My best chances to go, from 0-loss or 1-loss teams thus far (not necessarily who IS better; better chances to end up as best pick):
1. ECU (L SCarolina, W VaTech; NEEDS WINS: @UNC, @Cinci, UCF)
2. Marshall (NEEDS WINS: @Akron, Midd-Tenn, @Old-Dom, CUSAC)
3. NIU (W NorthW; NEEDS WINS: @Arkansas*, Toledo, CMU, MACC)
4. Memphis (L UCLA; NEEDS WINS: @Ole Miss, Middle-Tenn, @Cinci)
5. Cinci (W Toledo; NEEDS WINS: @OSU*, @Miami-FL, Memphis, ECU)
6. Akron (L Penn State; NEEDS WINS: Marshall, @Pitt, BGSU, MACC)
7. Old Dominion (L NC-State; NEEDS WINS: Marshall, Middle-Tenn, @Vandy, LA-Tech, CUSAC)
7. BGSU (L W. Kent, W Indiana; NEEDS WINS: @Wisconsin, @Akron, @Toledo, MACC)
9. Middle Tennessee (L Minnesota; NEEDS WINS: BYU, @Marshall, @Memphis, CUSAC)
10. LA-Tech (L Oklahoma; @Auburn, UTEP, @Old-Dom, CUSAC)
11. UTEP (L TexTech; NEEDS WINS: @KanState, @LaTech, Midd-Tenn, CUSAC)

* NIU & Cinci only undefeated teams besides Marshall. Marshall cannot afford to lose ANY games if there's any other key 1-loss teams remaining.
- NIU can afford to lose Arkansas, technically, if ECU loses another game and Cinci loses two games -- while Marshall taking a loss by someone, which is quite possible
- Cinci can afford to lose to Ohio State if they beat Miami-FL, Memphis, and ECU, if NIU does not beat Arkansas

If NIU beats Arkansas, they'll only be competing with ECU/Cinci if they go undefeated, and between those two, one is going to have an extra loss. You want Cinci to beat ECU, as Cinci will most likely lose 2 other games.
