Last Five In: Oklahoma, Houston, South Carolina, Northeastern, UCF
First Seven Out: Troy, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Washington, Arizona, TCU
With UNC Wilmington winning the CAA championship, the conference now looks like a two-bid league. Northeastern should make it as an at-large, but they certainly have some room to worry heading into Monday’s Selection Show. The OVC was where the other big upset was that will worry bubble teams. Morehead State stole a spot with their win over Tennessee Tech. The OVC will be a two-bid league this year and that could be bad news for the Big Ten and Pac-12, which both have multiple teams on the outside looking in of our projected bracket.
