Miami [19-8 (9-6), RPI: 44, SOS: 69] If you think 48 points in 45 minutes of basketball is bad -- and, make no mistake, it is -- consider that Miami and Virginia traded 62 possessions in Charlottesville on Monday night. The Cavaliers averaged .78. Just sitting at a desk and finishing the broadcast took a significant toll on Bubble Watch HQ. Morale has never been so low. For Miami, though, the disaster was beautiful: The Hurricanes struck at an opportune moment -- Virginia appears to have stranded its offense somewhere deep in Shenandoah -- and got a marquee road win that will look even better on Selection Sunday after the immediate context has faded. Plus, Miami's last three regular-season games come against Duke at home, then at Virginia Tech and Florida State. There are no bad losses to worry about there, and a couple of big chances to boot. The Canes should get in.
As of 2/21 Bubble Watch has Ville, UNC, Duke, FSU, UVA and ND as locks. VT and Miami (FL) are noted as "should be in."
