If CU won on Saturday and then won their opener, that would be two more Q1 wins. In fact if they lost to Butler that would likely be enough to bump them into the top 30 and make the home win a Q1 win. And then UCLA is just on the wrong side, they could easily add a third.

CU might not have to do a ton to gain a few more top tier wins.

The interesting one with Butler though is that if they beat Seton Hall, that could easily knock Seton Hall out of top 30- so while getting a tier 1 win in Butler, they would lose 1 in Seton Hall. So Butler could already be tier 1 before their game(if that's the matchup)

One problem that Creighton has is only 2-7 road/neutral vs Q1 and Q2 teams. So these next 2 games are gigantic in that regard.

Except actually win the games of course. No small effort in the Big East. In any event, GO JAYS!!!

what he's saying though is that the profile could improve by Creighton doing nothing. UCLA wins their last game vs USC- goes from 54 to 43. The UCLA win thus improves from tier 2 to tier 1. A few other teams close enough to do that as well.....
