You can officially move Michigan State off the tournament bubble and into the tournament after Saturday's win over Indiana.

At 21-8 with the toughest schedule in the Big Ten, no out-of-place losses and quality wins over Wisconsin, Texas and BYU, the Spartans have done enough to clinch their 10th straight NCAA bid, even if they lose their last two games. The only thing left to determine now is seeding.

How high do I think MSU can go? My preseason prediction — a six seed — still is possible if the Spartans win at Michigan Tuesday, but really it doesn't matter as long as they avoid the 8-9 game.

If I'm an MSU fan there's only a couple teams that scare me. The Spartans just don't have enough athleticism to compete with Florida, North Carolina, UCLA and Kansas, and three of those teams will probably be No. 1 seeds (and by extension, MSU's potential second-round opponent).

Take Georgetown, Texas A&M and Ohio State and Wisconsin out the mix — the Big Ten champ should get a No. 1 seed, the other three teams slide to the two line — and there's not another team out there MSU would be a significant underdog to. That doesn't mean they'd beat everyone else, but I'd take my chances with a Memphis, Nevada, Southern Illinois, Pitt or Washington State.

Bottom line is MSU is playing good basketball, the streak is alive and the Sweet 16 is a realistic possibility.
