Women's Bracketology: How two upsets turned the ACC into a nine-bid league

Sometimes one big win can elevate a team off the bubble. Clemson and Virginia got those victories Sunday.

Sunday was a good day for ACC bubble teams. Sometimes one big win can elevate a team off the bubble. Clemson and Virginia got those victories and went from Last Four In to Last Four Byes. With an ever-shrinking list of true at-large candidates, those wins provided the kind of cushion that makes an NCAA tournament bid now likely for both teams. Virginia shocked Duke -- which had won 17 games in a row and was unbeaten in the ACC -- on Hannah Kohn's late 3-pointer. Romi Levy did the same for Virginia in its stunner at Louisville. But with every rise there is a fall. The Cardinals dropped from a No. 2 seed to a 3, and Duke lost its chance to get to the 2-line. The conference tournament in Duluth, Georgia, can change things, but Sunday might have been the best-case scenario for an ACC that now has nine teams securely in the field.​

Oklahoma back in, Ole Miss out of top 16. Villanova still hanging in with a last 4 bye. Hubby's Navy is matched up with Vandy in first round. @triaddukefan's High Point is matched up with Texas.

12 -Big Ten
11 -SEC
9 - ACC
7 - Big 12
2 - Big East
2 - Ivy

Soooooo Nebraska's victory on the road against Washington puts them in the dance and knocks ASU out of the dance.

ASU has a huge game tomorrow against BYU followed by a road game at Texas Tech. A win over BYU gives the Sun Devils the 8th seed and a by in the Big 12 tournament. A loss and we're definitely not dancing at least not in the big one.

Right now it looks like ASU would face Utah assuming they win in the first round. Just what no one wants is to face a team for the third time.

Things are not looking good for the Sun Devils.....

But I am super happy for Amy Williams and the Huskers. I love their announcers....you betcha!

So if ASU is in the WBIT I'm wondering if they would host the first round and if so do they keep hosting until the championship game?

Final part of my fantasy .... why is Mississippi State with a 5 and 9 conference record firmly in? I know I know the SEC and all that but if ASU ends up as a 25 win team with 12 conference wins do they have a case to knock Mississippi State out?

I know I know quad one ..... oy
