Last Four In: Illinois State, UC Davis, Chattanooga, Villanova
First Four Out: Fordham, Austin Peay, Rhode Island, Richmond
South Dakota and North Dakota both picked up huge wins on Saturday. USD knocked off Youngstown State and are now sitting at 5-1 with their only loss coming against Missouri. North Dakota beat in-state rival NDSU 49-24 and have another big game coming up at Northern Iowa. At this point we are not projecting either team to earn a first-round bye in the playoffs, but both have certainly played their way into the conversation.
