Here's the way I see each of these games ...
* VT/Miami is a play-out game
* MD/NC St is a play-out game for MD
* Providence needs a win or a fabulous showing in defeat to Louisville. They cannot have one great conference win, a good win in which the opposition was missing 2 starters, no quality OOC wins, and countless double-digit defeats.
* Minn/NW has the murkiest of scenarios. A win should get Minn in. NW needs 2 wins to be furthered in the discussion (I think they are in with a second non-home win against MSU ... looking way too far into the future).
* Michigan/Iowa is a play-out game for Michigan. If other teams choke, this may be a play-in game.
* Unless PSU loses to Indiana, they are in and/or wins ugly and lays an egg against Purdue
* Kansas State is IN with a second non-home win against Texas. Their weak RPI is bound to improve either way.
* If Arizona defeats Arizona State, they are IN.
* USC needs two wins and to hop Arizona to be in the discussion
* Florida/Kentucky may need 3 wins to advance to the NCAAs.
Bye bye Canes, Friars and Wildcats
