65 teams will get invited to the big dance. There are 31 conferences with automatic bids. That leaves 34 at-large bids. Most of those conferences will be won by a team that should get an at large bid. What causes some teams to be bumped off the bubble is those conferences that someone wins that wouldn't normally be invited.
Here is a break are the top 34 teams that are going to get invited even if they don't win there conferences.
1) KANSAS SYRACUSE KENTUCKY DUKE
2) PURDUE OHIO ST W VIRGINIA VILLANOVA
3) KANSAS ST MICH ST NEW MEXICO TENNESSEE
4) MARYLAND PITT WISCONSIN TEMPLE
5) BUTLER BYU BAYLOR VANDERBILT
6) GONZAGA XAVIER TEXAS A&M GEORGETOWN
7) RICHMOND N IOWA TEXAS UTEP
8) VIRGINIATECH OKLAHOMA ST CALIFORNIA LOUISVILLE
9) UTAH ST MARQUETTE
Add to those 34 another 31 conference winners that aren't on the list, yet.
So, the following is a list of teams that should get in because the above 34 will win their conferences. I have 12 conferences that should have of those 34 locks winning. N Iowa has already won theirs.
