I'd be pretty surprised if we didn't but Tourney play-in game vs. no Tourney and oscar out I would be fine either way at this point.

Not sure there is enough action of teams getting auto bids in front of us to bump us back out. 

Lets be real though, being in a highly rated P5 and the expanded field makes an invite nearly the same as a 6-6 bowl invite.  All you need to do is finish .500 in conference and you're pretty much in.

We didn't even finish .500 and we are pretty much in.

Thanks for all of the money Carl and Mary. We couldn't even win half our games in the rough ridin' conference!  :curse:

The bracket matrix has us as the next to last at large, it's very close.

are there any autobids that could bump US or teams playing today for trophies that have done enough?

And that's still from yesterday at noon. It will be interesting to see how it shakes up today. To be fair, a  1 point loss to a 4 seed should not change anything at all. I don't believe any of the teams fighting for spots with us have done anything to supplant us now, our Baylor win Thursday is still probably the best bubble win this weekend.

Yes, but there are only realistically two teams still competing for those spots.  Both would have to do something pretty amazing to bump KSU.

Also...and I've said this before...but I have no idea why so many people think Syracuse is safe.

There are five tournaments left in which a bid can potentially be stolen
SEC
AAC
Mountain West
CUSA
A10

The most likely of these is the A10. K-State needs Rhode Island to lose today and VCU to win the tournament.

Yeah, I think we're still in. Surprisingly, road/neutral should help us a lot.
