For the first time this season, I'd say the bubble looks like it could be pretty weak come Selection Sunday, as it has been the last couple seasons. Numerous at-large bids will be available in large part because of down years from the B1G and Pac 12, and to a lesser extent, the Atlantic 10.
A few changes over the weekend, Maryland back out of the field, so the B1G is back down to 4 bids. The SEC leads with 9, followed by the ACC with 7 and the Big East and Big XII with 6 apiece. A reminder, this does not project future results, only considers games played to date. An * denotes the conference leader or -- in the event of a tie -- best RPI in a multiple-bid conference. RPI's are noted in parentheses.
