Put 'Em All In

[GIGAFAN99]

Alright, let me say how I think it should go right now:

C-USA: 3 at-large bids. I don't think they'll get more.
SEC: 4 at-large bids. Almost certainly.
Big Ten: 3 at-large. Definitely.
Pac-10: 3 at-large. Maximum, maybe 2.
MAC: 1 at-large. Likely.
MVC: 1 at-large. Pains me, but they'll get one.
WCC: 1 at-large. Max. St. Mary's has to win out.

That leaves the best three with 18 to split.

So if:
ACC gets 5
Big XII gets 6
and there are no conference tourney upsets in the Big West, Mountain West, or maybe the America East.

Give the Big East 7 at-large bids and just put all 8 teams in. Ease our mind selection committee.

When was the last March that there weren't any major upsets in conference tourney's? I think there will be at least three or four squads that could pull this off. Georgia Tech, Kansas St., Oregon, some squad is going to put together a stupid run and that will seal the deal. I hate to be a pessimist, but we need to win our way in versus backing our way in.
