Near Lock Bubble Teams

Stanford - Just has to beat Arizona St at home, which should be relatively easy... but if they lose that game could end up 9-9 in conference, and I think they would miss. (Key - Beat ASU at home)

Indiana - Another team that just has to do its business. Win either at Northwestern or at home vs Penn St and they are safe... but lose those games and they are a .500 teams, with a 30ish RPI, and a bad end to the season. Almost a lock, but they most close the deal with an easy win.

Kansas St -
