Analysis: With one day left before Selection Sunday there hasn’t been much chaos, and the potential for it has been reduced significantly going into the next two days.

Penn State upended Illinois and Northwestern on back-to-back days. The question isn’t whether the Nittany Lions will make the NCAA tournament’s field of 68, or even if they’ll be sent to Dayton for a play-in game. It’s whether Penn State has played its way up to an 8/9 game. Maybe not yet, but it might not be far off.

If those teams all lose, it will be a quiet Sunday afternoon for teams like Arizona State , Oklahoma State and Rutgers as they wait for the selection committee’s work to conclude. But for now, there are still ways for the field to be disrupted.For the fourth consecutive day, Ohio State’s season could come to an end. The Buckeyes haven’t allowed that to happen yet, navigating their way past Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan State.
