Kentucky moves up to the 1 line for the first time all season after Tennessee's loss at LSU. The Vols have a clear path to reclaiming their spot on the top line but it's going to require at least one more win against Kentucky. Also in the SEC, LSU moves up to the 3 line after their big win, replacing Kansas who got smacked by Texas Tech. Wofford is edging closer to lock territory with their big win at Furman, and Oklahoma is looking safer despite their conference record. A lot of bubble teams avoided bad losses over the weekend, although Seton Hall lost badly at St. John's and has fallen out of the field in favor of Alabama as a result. The bubble seems really thin- I list 12 teams outside the field as being on the bubble but I really don't think anyone past Butler has a legitimate shot.
