There aren't enough potential bid stealers left for that scenario. We're dancing, and it's 90%+ that our next game is on Thursday or FridayI think there would have to be a half-dozen bid steals or teams below PSU in the various "bracketology" rankings winning a big game in order for PSU to NOT be in the NCAAs.
Now we can get greedy and hope PSU earned a bye and doesn't have to "play-in". If PSU could somehow move up to a 10-seed, that would historically put them in good position for an upset win in the 7-10 matchup.
