Alright, so looking at all the teams with 5 losses and fewer, it looks like we may have a tough go even if we win out (and our only chance is to win out--damn you refs @Marquette!). But, let's imagine we do, and look for what else we need to have happen:
Remaining Schedules
Georgetown (11-3)
@UConn
Rutgers
@Villanova
Syracuse
Marquette (11-4)
Notre Dame
@Rutgers
@St. Johns
Louisville (10-4)
@Depaul
@Syracuse
Cincy
Notre Dame
Syracuse (10-5)
Louisville
DePaul
@Georgetown
Notre Dame (10-5)
@Marquette
St. John's
@Louisville
So we need each of the three teams ahead of us to lose at least once (Georgetown 2x).
Georgetown
In the scenario in which we win out, Georgetown is 11-4, and now needs one more loss (frankly, I don't care if we split this title 15 ways...) We then need to pull for Villanova or Syracuse.
Marquette
We really need Notre Dame to come through on the road, here, otherwise we need St. John's...
Louisville
They've got three teams that can conceivably beat them. Probably our best bet is to pull for Syracuse at home.
So, take care of business, and we probably need Syracuse to go 2-1 (with the loss being DePaul) to have a shot, and we need Notre Dame to take out Marquette.
