2/4 preview

The important games:
Texas A&M at Ole Miss - this could help sort out the bubble picture...or muddy it further.  I need to see more from A&M to feel comfortable about their chances
Oklahoma St at Texas - all of a sudden this is kinda a must-win for Texas, and kind of vital for Oklahoma St too.  One team might be panicking at the end of this game
Providence at Georgetown - more about seeding implications than bubble implications here
Washington at Oregon - winner becomes the half-hearted favorite to be the 4th Pac-12 team in contention
Colorado St at Wyoming - massive, huge, important game for both.  As I detailed a couple days ago, both need access to signature wins, and this is about as signature as it's going to get for them until Selection Sunday

There's a lot of hold-serve action as well.  Purdue hosts Ohio St and could brute force their way into the bubble talk...another full day in the MAC, so we'll see what happens...VCU's on the road at George Mason so we'll see how they handle things...Baylor hosts TCU...K-State must absolutely hold serve at Texas Tech...and teams like Duke, Notre Dame, and Villanova just need to handle home games.
