A Line Mover is a team that
Simple put, if a line mover wins it conference tournament the cutline currently located between ranked teams 14 and 15 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 13 teams in 3 conferences, thus the cutline could theoretically move up 3 spots. The list size will quickly contract during the individual conference tournaments.
