There are 34 at large bids. Right now the mid majors/smaller conferences only have 3 teams that look really good at getting at larges. The Mt West is going to get 3 teams in (2 at large). UNLV, Air Force and BYU are those 3. So Illinois and Creighton are the 2 that will get in for sure in the Mo Valley.
So the 6 major conferences could get as many as 37 teams (31 at large and 6 league champs) in the tourney. 35 or 36 is more likely, but 37 is possible as of today.
Here are the teams that look good right now for the NCAA tourney ---
** Big 12 (4) ku, aTm, UT, TT. Even though Tech is only 6-6, the 3 wins vs aTm/ku hold a lot of weight.
** ACC (6) UNC, BC, VT, Virg, Duke, Maryland
** B East (6) Pitt, Gtown, Nova, Marquette, Louisville, N Dame
** SEC (4) Fla, uk, Vandy, Tenn
** Pac 10 (6) Ucla, Wash St, USC, Arizona, Oregon, Stanford
** Big 10 (3) Ohio St, Wisc, Indiana
So that would leave 8 spots right now that are up for grabs IMO. Here are the contenders (13 total) ---
* KSU (B12) Good conf record 8-4 (19-8). Only 2 good wins. RPI is around 50. 7 road/nuetral wins.
* OK ST (B12) only 5-6 conf record (18-7). 4 good wins and RPI is 36. aTm and at Tech next 2 games
* Clemson (ACC) conf record only 5-7 (19-7) 5 good wins and RPI of 30. Lost 7 of 9 and have 3 tough games left (Duke, at VT, at BC)
* Florida St (ACC) conf record a dismal 5-8(17-10). 3 wins vs top 25 RPI is only reason they are even on this list.
* Ga Tech (ACC) conf record only 5-7. They do have 6 good wins. RPI is only around 47
* W Virg (BEast) Have a good conf record 8-5 (19-6). Only 2 good wins and RPI is around 50. Similar to KSU except they did beat Ucla
