Bubble action --

The SEC, bid-wise, is a mess. Mississippi won to finish fifth in conference play, but its RPI is in the 50s. After losing to LSU, Florida finished 5-9, but the Gators' RPI is in the 30s. Mississippi State beat Auburn, so both teams finished 6-8.

I think Ole Miss is in -- the nonconference play was pretty sad, but wins over Vandy and Georgia are nice. As for the other three SEC bubble teams... I don't know. Coach Fortner thinks her team needs to win two tournament games to get a bid.

In the Big Ten, both Purdue and Iowa won.

In the ACC, Virginia Tech won and Georgia Tech lost, thus solidifying the dividing line between the seven who will get bid and the four who won't. The Hokies will get in with a sub-.500 conference record -- because they play in the best conference, because they played a solid nonconference schedule, because they have a bunch of nice wins, and because their worst lost all year was at Miami (RPI 55).

In the A-10, GW and Xavier both won. GW has one nice nonconference win over NC State, but a bad loss to La Salle. Xavier's nonconference resume is weak. Both have more to prove.

In Conference USA, Houston may have earned its bid by beating TCU. Marquette may have lost its chance at one by losing to DePaul.
