AZ State loss is good for us. They are currently last 4 in. No opportunity for their record to get better, while we just have ourselves a lift. Doesn’t necessarily hurt their resume, but gives us comparative upside/an argument to steal that bid after today’s win.
Currently watching Utah State vs Boise State. Utah State also currently last 4 in. Same argument carries if they lose.
As another poster pointed out in a different thread, we now have to worry about the stray auto bid stealer that gives an assumed 1 bid conference an auto + potential at large.
