1/17 preview

Duke at Louisville - I suppose this maybe will have some repocrations for top-line seeding
NC State at Florida St - bubble teams must absolutely win this type of game
Miami at Notre Dame - I'm still not sold on ND having a super-high seed.  And not sold on Miami in the field of 68 yet
Wichita St at Evansville - approaching last chance saloon for UE
Ohio St at Iowa - your standard upper-class matchup where both teams will feel fine with a win and just enough hint of danger with a loss
Florida at Georgia - UF is trying to claw their way back towards the bubble
Rhode Island at UMass - a spot for a bubble team where they need to get a tricky road win
Kentucky at Alabama - 'Bama can solve a lot of profile issues here
Michigan St at Maryland - more important for MSU at this stage
TCU at Texas Tech - a must-get for TCU to still even have a seat at the big-boy table
Syracuse at Clemson - another bubble team on the road...
Butler at Georgetown - see OSU/Iowa comment
Davidson at Richmond - see Syra/Clem comment
West Virginia at Texas - another day in the Big 12
Oklahoma St at Oklahoma - I get the sense OSU is a step behind the lead pack in this conference
Utah at Arizona - big repocrations for the top lines
Temple at Cincinnati - all of a sudden, both teams are on the brink of being off the bubble pace
Kansas at Iowa St - important game for ISU if they want to compete for a top 2 seed
UConn at Stanford - not just an unusual non-con game, but one with high stakes, for both
BYU at St Mary's - BYU could fall 3 behind St Mary's in the loss column with a road loss.  Critical times
