Before the Cheez-It Bowl

 One game down today.  Oddly enough, even though Syracuse lost, that resulted in no one being knocked out of 3^rd place contention.  Usually that means that the people with the lowest percentage chances have to win tie-breakers in order to get 3^rd.  That way, there may be only one scenario that is keeping several of them alive.

Anyway, we only lost a few places around the matrix, and nobody was completely wiped out.  If you were alive for something prior to the Pinstripe Bowl, you are still alive for something now.  Obviously, that will change as game continue.
