Games of the Night

 

A companion to our daily Three Stars of the Day, we present the top three Games of the Night.

 

As a neutral observer, I never get to have any personal interest in the bubble. But I figure I have the right to cheer for my alma mater and boy is it fun. Even when my school has little to no chance of an at-large bid, I still can’t help but check the RPI numbers right after an opponent of an opponent plays a game. ‘Was that win by Utah Valley State enough to move Northridge up .01 points in the RPI?’ I always hope and wonder. And those Matadors kick off this week of what “Welser Wonders…”

WELSER WONDERS..

 

Like the case across most of the BCS conferences, a freshman is leading the way in the Big 10.  The old dogs are doing ok also, as two seniors make this early season list.
