A Line Mover is a team that
Simple put, if a line mover wins it conference tournament the cutline currently located between ranked teams 15 and 16 will move up one position, thus eliminating a team that would have received an NCAA Tournament bid based upon its rank. If your team is ranked on the bubble you want line-moving teams to lose in their conference tournament. The list contains 42 teams in 6 conferences, thus the cutline could theoretically move 6 spots. The list size will quickly contract during the individual conference tournaments.
