Last Four In:

Buffalo
Clemson
Utah
BYU

First Four Out:

Auburn
Tennessee
Kansas State
TCU

There’s not much use going beyond a first four out at this point. The bubble will only shrink as bid-stealers emerge, and if you’re an at-large candidate, it means you’re taking at least one more loss. That’ll make it hard to move up five or more spots.

Procedural Bumps:

Rutgers from a 7 to an 8
North Carolina from an 8 to a 7

Utah from an 11 to a 12
Jame Madison from a 12 to an 11

Pac-12: 7
