I have 35 teams I think are definitely in the tournament as of today (not including teams
that have already won their at large bids).
Those are every team seeded on the first 8 seed lines, plus every nine
seed except Stanford. I think Stanford,
Oklahoma, Arizona State and Rutgers are likely to be in as well, but I’m not
willing to put it at the likelihood of the other 35.
That leaves
10 teams I think the committee could theoretically choose as of today for the
remaining 6 spots. Those teams are: UCLA, Cincinnati, Indiana, Xavier, Texas
Tech, NC State, Richmond, Texas, Mississippi State and Wichita State. I think 6 of those 10 would be in today. I have my prediction of who would, but I
could see justifications for going with the others.
Everyone
else listed I think would be out as of today, though some others could
theoretically make a run at it in their conference tournaments.
