The auto bids have just about been all handed out and now the final anticipation begins. The 31 teams that have won their respective conference championship are just waiting to see where their travel plans are and for who to prepare for. There are 37 teams that are going to be selected to join these 31 auto bids as at-large selection. Who will they be? Here is who is in and who I think is going to be in the big Dance. I have the #1 seeds Indiana, Gonzaga, Louisville and Kansas. All but Indiana won their conference tourneys and Indiana won their first regular season title in 20 years.

Atlantic Coast
Conference Class-Power

In: Miami
Going: Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Maryland, Virginia
Skinny on the ACC: The Canes win their first ACC title since joining the league 20 years ago and the 2^nd consecutive Florida based team to win the ACC conference championship. The Dukies quarterfinal loss prevents them from garnering a #1 seed. The Terrapins and Cavs got deep enough in the ACC tourney to not be left behind.

Atlantic Coast Conference Champions: Miami

Projected Bids: 6

Atlantic Ten
Conference Class-Major
In: Saint Louis

Going: Va. Commonwealth, Temple, Butler

Hoping For the Best, but will get left out : LaSalle, UMass

The A-10 Spec is: Saint Louis grinded out a tough win to earn their first automatic bid since 2000, VCU, Butler and Temple are good to go as well. I cant put LaSalle in. I cant see the selection committee giving the Explorers the benefit of the doubt.

Atlantic 10 Conference Champions: Saint Louis

Projected Bids: 4

Big East

Conference Class-Power
In: Louisville

Going: Syracuse, Georgetown, Marquette, Louisville, Notre Dame, Pitt ,Cincinnati, Villanova,

Hoping For The Best, but will get left out: Providence,
Big East Skinny:  The Cardinals used a frightening 2^nd half blitz to rally to a win over Syracuse and win the final Big East tournament (at least with the configuration that we know and love) The cut line will stop at Villanova. Providence flunked its chance to crash in with its first round loss

Big East Champions: Louisville

Projected bids: 8

Big Ten
Conference Class-Power
IN: Ohio State

Going: Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin

Hoping For The Best, but will get left out: Iowa
The word on the Big Ten is: Can the Hoosiers get a #1 seed without winning the Big Ten? I think that they do. Ohio State grinded out a tough win over Wisconsin and gets the auto bid. The teams that are going have not changed but the only question is where is the cut line here? I think Minnesota in spite of their disastrous last six weeks should make it in, barely. Iowa gets caught on the wrong side of the cut line this year

Big Ten Conference Champions: Ohio State

Projected Bids: 7

Big 12
Conference Class-Power
IN: Kansas

Going: Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Kansas State

Hoping For The Best, but will get left out: Baylor, Oklahoma
Skinny from the heartland:  The Jayhawks may have very well locked down a #1 seed here. The Wildcats, Cyclones and Pokes are tourney bound. But Baylor and Oklahoma are another pair of teams that are sitting on the sidelines sweating out the possible bid stealing scenarios from other conferences. But as it stands now I still only have four teams coming out.

Big 12 Conference Championship: Kansas

Projected Bids: 4

Conference USA
Conference Class-Major
IN: Memphis
Hoping For The Best, but will get left out: Southern Miss
Oh Say Can You C-USA Spec: The Tigers are Golden Eagles played a double overtime thriller, but the Tigers snag the  win and will ultimately be the only team coming out here

Conference USA Champions: Memphis

Projected Bids: 1

Missouri Valley
Conference Class-Mid Major
IN: Creighton

Safe: Wichita State
Missouri Valley Skinny:  Bravo to the Bluejays! They edged the Shockers in a thrilling finale and clinch the auto bid, Im pretty sure that Shockers will garner an at large bid. Northern Iowa is off the sheet and will not get a bid after losing in their first game.

Missouri Valley Conference Champions: Creighton

Projected Bids: 2


Mountain West
Conference Class-Major
IN: New Mexico

Going: UNLV, San Diego State, Colorado State, Boise State
Spec from the Mountains:  The Lobos howled their way to a championship in front of a rollicking crowd in Vegas. The Rebels, Aztecs and Rams are good to go? The Broncos? They may sweat all the way to the last region but I think that they will get in.

Mountain West Conference Champions: New Mexico

Projected Bids: 5


Pacific 12
Conference Class-Power
In: Oregon

Safe: UCLA, Cal, Colorado, Arizona

Hoping For the Best, but will get left out: Arizona State,
Spec from the left coast:  The Ducks are quacking all the way to the dance, leaving no doubt that they are the Pac-12’s best. The Bruins proved their worth all season and are in no danger as are Wildcats. Heres where its gets tricky Cal should have enough weight to offset their horrid first round stumble. Colorado avoided a bad 1^st round loss and played fairly honorable against Arizona so I think that they are good but the cut line hit Arizona State whose poor numbers and weak resume cant offset their tight win over Stanford and tough loss to top seed UCLA. They get left behind

Pacific 12 Conference Champions: Oregon

Projected Bids: 5



Southeastern
Conference Class-Power
In: Ole Miss

Safe: Mizzou, Florida, Alabama
Hoping For the Best, but will get left out:  UK, Tennessee
Spec is Down South: Wellllp! Ole Miss smashed any doubt of their tourney validity by upending top seed Florida to lock up the auto bid. I have the Gators along with Mizzou and Bama. Tennessee really needed to get to the semis to have a realistic chance and Kentucky isn’t really in the conversation other than being the first defending tourney champ since UNC in 2010 to not return to the tourney to defend its title.

Southeastern Conference Champions: Ole Miss

Projected Bids: 4


Western Athletic

Conference Class- Major
In: New Mexico State

Hoping For The Best, But won’t get in: Louisiana Tech, Denver
Spec on the WAC: The Aggies took advantage of upsets to cruise to the title and make this a one bid conference.

Western Athletic Conference Champions: New Mexico State

Projected Bids: 1

West Coast
Conference Class- Mid Major

In: Gonzaga
Going: St. Marys
West Coast Spec: The Bulldogs are in and are likely a #1 seed, I think the Gaels are good to go as well.

West Coast Conference Champions: Gonzaga

Projected Bids: 2

There are others in the mix to be sure. the champions from the following conferences get an automatic bid:  (bids earned in bold) Amer. East (Albany), Atlantic Sun (Florida Gulf Coast), Big Sky (Montana), Big South (Liberty), Big West (Pacific), Colonial (James Madison),  Horizon (Valpo), Ivy  (Harvard), MAC (Akron), MAAC (Iona), MEAC (North Carolina A&T), Northeast(LIU-Brooklyn), Ohio Valley (Belmont), Patriot (Bucknell), Southern (Davidson) , Southland (Northwestern St.), Sun Belt (Western Kentucky), Summit (South Dakota St.), and SWAC (Southern)

Final Spec Review on Monday
 

The next to last Spec Sheet of the year sees the day dawn with 12 auto bids being handed out over the course of the day. The sheet continues to be very fluid, and tomorrow there will be a spec sheet before the final games and just before the bids are announced.

The games are fast and furious, the upsets and thrillers are plentiful. This is where the spec sheet is at its most fluid. The weekend will see the remaining auto bids getting handed out, most on Saturday. Numbers have changed as some conferences look to send less teams due to upsets. This is the fun part of the spec sheet season, no one knows who will do what.

Atlantic Coast
Conference Class-Power
Safe: Miami Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State

Playing Their Way In: Virginia
Hoping for the Best: Maryland
Skinny on the ACC: Miami clinched its first ever ACC title regular season or postseason and have the #1 seed headed to Greensboro, but the Dukies are the team to beat after punishing Carolina in front of a sullen Chapel Hill crowd. Could we see a Miami-Duke ACC title game next Sunday with a #1 seed on the line? Virginia secured a 1^st round bye with a taut win over Maryland and may be just about safe. The Terrapins on the other hand are in real trouble after a late season slide they may need to get to Saturday at least to get back on the right side of the tourney equation.

Atlantic Coast Conference Championship: Mar 14-Mar 17 Greensboro Coliseum; Greensboro, NC

Key Games:  Wake Forest vs Maryland Thursday 7p (ESPNU) The fading Terrapins had better not rely on the fact that they have beaten the Demon Deacons twice, if they slip up they have no shot at a tourney bid.

Projected Bids: 5

Atlantic Ten
Conference Class-Major
Safe: Va. Commonwealth, Saint Louis, Butler

Playing Their Way In: Temple

Hoping For The Best: LaSalle

The A-10 Spec is: Teams are more playing their way out than playing their way in. A prime example is Xavier who was trying to get into the conversation, but had their tourney dreams dashed after being sent to the showers with a 58-57 heartbreaking loss to lowly St. Joes. Lasalle is the only team still on the fringe that could force their way in if they keep winning

Atlantic 10 Conference Championship: Mar 14-17 Barclays Center, Brooklyn

Key Games: LaSalle vs Butler Friday 2:30p (NBCS) LaSalle could strengthen its resume immensely with a win here.

Projected Bids: 4

Big East
Conference Class-Power
Safe: Syracuse, Georgetown, Marquette, Louisville, Notre Dame, Pitt ,Cincinnati

Playing Their Way In: Villanova,

Hoping For The Best: Providence,
Big East Skinny:  With the Big East as we know it fading away, Its ironic that the four teams playing have so much history in this conference. Villanova may be the only team really sweating here but I think that this conference sends eight teams

Big East Championship: Mar 12-16 Madison Square Garden, New York

Key Game: Syracuse vs Georgetown 7p (ESPN) This rivalry has one final chapter in the Big East Semis with the Orange hungering to avenge their humiliating loss in DC last week

.

Projected bids: 8

Big Ten
Conference Class-Power
Safe: Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State, Illinois, Wisconsin

Hoping For The Best: Minnesota, Iowa
The word on the Big Ten is: Iowa is getting awfully close to playing their way in. Minnesota will be sweating for the entire weekend. The deeper that the Hawkeyes get into the Big Ten tourney, they more they could tip the Gophers closer to being out. Im going to take the chance and move the meter up to eight teams coming out here.

Big Ten Conference Championship: Mar 14-17: United Center, Chicago

Key Game: Minnesota vs Illinois Thursday Noon (BTN) The Gophers might feel a lot safer if they beat the Iliini

Projected Bids: 8

Big 12
Conference Class-Power
Safe: Kansas, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Kansas State

Hoping For The Best: Baylor, Oklahoma
Skinny from the heartland:  I have the playing their way in category but both Oklahoma and Baylor may have played their way out with losses. Oklahoma got routed by Iowa State while Baylor got caught on the wrong end of a 2 point loss. Both teams will be sitting at home waiting for a call that may never come. The four teams that are safe are playing in the Big 12 semis.

Big 12 Conference Championships: Mar 13-16 Sprint Center, Kansas City

Key Games: Iowa State vs Kansas Friday 7:30  (FSN) A rematch of the overtime thriller from last month where the Cyclones got hosed on a late call and lost in overtime. The stakes are much higher now.

Projected Bids: 4

Conference USA
Conference Class-Major
Safe: Memphis
Hoping For The Best: Southern Miss
Oh Say Can You C-USA Spec: The Tigers are way safe but the Golden Eagles are getting closer and closer

Conference USA Championships: March 13-16 BOK Center, Tulsa

Key Game: UTEP vs USM Thursday 5p (CBSS) The Eagles will now face the Miners and had better not even think of losing if they want to retain what slim tourney hopes that they have.

Projected Bids: 1

Missouri Valley
Conference Class-Mid Major
IN: Creighton

Safe: Wichita State
Missouri Valley Skinny:  Bravo to the Bluejays! They edged the Shockers in a thrilling finale and clinch the auto bid, Im pretty sure that Shockers will garner an at large bid. Northern Iowa is off the sheet and will not get a bid after losing in their first game.

Missouri Valley Conference Champions: Creighton

Projected Bids: 2


Mountain West
Conference Class-Major
Safe: UNLV, San Diego State, Colorado State, New Mexico
Playing Their Way In: Boise State
Spec from the Mountains:  I still have five teams but Boise State may be sweating the whole weekend after losing to San Diego State. The four teams that I have listed as safe are playing each other in the MWC semis, any questions?

Key Games: San Diego State vs New Mexico Friday 9p (CBSS) An interesting semifinal with a pair of way safe teams

Mountain West Conference Championship:  Mar 13-16 Thomas & Mack Arena, Las Vegas

Projected Bids: 5


Pacific 12
Conference Class-Power
Safe: Oregon, UCLA, Cal, Arizona

Playing Their Way In: Utah

Hoping For the Best: Colorado, Arizona State,
Spec from the left coast:  It happens every year a rowdy lop eared mutt of a team makes a mess of tourney with an upset laden run. This year its Utah who has to win it in all to get a bid and play bid stealer. Cal might be in some trouble after losing but for the moment I still think that they are safe for now…

Pacific 12 Conference Championship:  MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas Mar 13-16

Key Game:  Utah vs Oregon11: 30p (PAC-12Net) Can the Utes continue their bid stealing dash to an improbable Pac-12 title?

Projected Bids: 5



Southeastern
Conference Class-Power
Safe: Mizzou, Florida

Playing Their Way In: UK
Work to do:  Ole Miss, Alabama
Spec is Down South: Day of reckoning for UK, but they breath a bit of a sigh of relief that they get favorite punching bag Vanderbilt instead of Arkansas. Bama and Ole Miss need to keep on winning. Ole Miss would be a lot more solid should they beat Mizzou who despite being a 6 seed is safe

Southeastern Conference Championship: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville Mar 13-17

Key Game: Vanderbilt vs UK Friday 7:30 The Wildcats are still sitting on the fence, beating the Commodores would keep them in the eqausion…lose and they are really sweating.

Projected Bids: 4


Western Athletic

Conference Class- Major
Safe: None

Playing their way In: New Mexico State, Texas State

Hoping For The Best: Louisiana Tech
Spec on the WAC: Wellllllp! The WAC now is a mess with both top seed getting bounced in their respective first round games. I have two teams projected to go, but that number is shaky. The benefactor here is New Mexico State who now are the highest seed. I think that La. Tech shaky resume and all gets the benefit of the doubt…for the moment. They will be hoping

Western Athletic Conference Championship: Orleans Arena, Las Vegas  Mar. 13-16

Key Game: Texas St vs New Mexico State Friday 9:00 (ROOT/FSN) The Aggies road to the title got a whole easier with Denver and La. Tech out, but Texas State is looking to be a bid stealer

Projected Bids: 2

West Coast
Conference Class- Mid Major

In: Gonzaga
Safe: St. Marys
West Coast Spec: The Bulldogs are in and are likely a #1 seed, I think the Gaels are good to go as well.

West Coast Conference Champions: Gonzaga

Projected Bids: 2

There are others in the mix to be sure. the champions from the following conferences get an automatic bid:  (Projected winners in parentheses/bids earned in bold) Amer. East (Vermont), Atlantic Sun (Florida Gulf Coast), Big Sky (Weber St.), Big South (Liberty), Big West (Long Beach St.), Colonial (James Madison),  Horizon (Valpo), Ivy  (Harvard), MAC (Akron), MAAC (Loyola-MD), MEAC (Norfolk St), Northeast(LIU-Brooklyn), Ohio Valley (Belmont), Patriot (Bucknell), Southern (Davidson) , Southland (S.F. Austin), Sun Belt (Western Kentucky), Summit (South Dakota St.), and SWAC (Southern)

Since this is still spec, nothing here is solid and we haven't even brought up the possibility of upsets. But those never happen, right?

Next Spec Sheet:  Tomorrow

Did anybody else notice that it is March?

And do you know what March brings?

MADNESS!!!!

That's right, it is time to start considering how to cure that madness, time to remember the real reason we go to work this month; the 2013 NCAA Basketball Tournament! And with the tournament comes the bracket challenge.

Once again, YouGabSports is hosting a bracket challenge at CBSSports for its members and, well, anyone else who wants to play and talk some trash. 

Feel like you have what it takes to come out on top and smoke the field? Then sign up at the following links, fill out your brackets, and then start practicing in front of a mirror, because it is going to be epic!

Simply sign up below and we will email invites to those who have the stones to throw down.

It is…the 1^st of March!

How crazy has this past week been? Three of the top five ranked teams took stunning road losses as Indiana, Michigan and Duke all got ambushed on the road and did the walk of stunned shame as happy home crowds stormed the courts in Minneapolis, State College and Charlottesville. And in the cases of the former and latter teams have given serious weight to otherwise questionable tourney resumes. This is the start of the best sports time of the year!

Atlantic Coast
Conference Class-Power
Solid: Miami Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State
Work to do: Virginia, Maryland
Skinny on the ACC: Miles Simon of ESPN made a valid point, the Canes are 2 games up in the ACC and clinch the ACC regular season title with a win Saturday. Why are they ranked behind the Blue Devils? No real change in the solid teams, though Virginia is getting awfully close to moving up and knocking off the Blue Devils at home helps that cause immensely. Maryland despite 19 wins have some bad losses on their docket, including a string of awful road losses (they only have 1 win on the road in conference) they have to win out and not get housed in the ACC 1^st round to be safe.

Key Game:   Miami at Duke Saturday 6p (ESPN) Duke took a vicious beating in Coral Gables and look for not only payback to keep faint hopes running down the Canes for another ACC regular season crown.

Projected Bids: 5

Atlantic Ten
Conference Class-Mid Major
Solid: Va. Commonwealth, Saint Louis, Butler

Work to do: LaSalle, Temple

The Billikens and Bulldogs are ranked and safe, so are the Rams who aren’t ranked but

Key Games: Butler at VCU Tonight 7p (ESPNU) Both teams are way safe but can always use the win to make a case for a better seed and though Billiken fans might not like it may be a preview of the A-10 final

Projected Bids: 4

Big East
Conference Class-Power
Solid: Syracuse, Georgetown, Marquette, Louisville, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Pitt

Work to do: St. Johns, Villanova
Big East Skinny: I still have 8 teams, and the Bearcats have the Huskies bad grades to thank. The Huskies being on academic probation and barred from postseason keep the number of teams that I think go at 8 and keep the Bearcats from being in real trouble. They still stay on the Solid list but they are the shakiest team. Villanova missed a chance to move to the solid neighborhood taking an inexcusable loss to Seton Hall.

Key Games: Villanova at Pitt Saturday Noon (ESPN3) Villanova is running out of chances to make a statement after losing to Seton Hall and have their hands full heading into the notoriously rowdy Oakland Zoo. Connecticut at Cincinnati Saturday 2p (ESPN3/FSN)  The Bearcats and Huskies played an overtime thriller  last month and the home squad needs a skid stopping win in the worst way.

Projected bids: 8

Big Ten
Conference Class-Power
Solid: Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin
Work to do: Iowa
The word on the Big Ten is: Guess who’s golden now??? The much maligned Gophers have taken a few head scratching losses but handing the top ranked Hoosiers a stunning defeat make them just about undeniable. The teams above them in the standings are all unquestioningly safe. The Hawkeyes are on the wrong side of the cut line and barring a deep run in Chicago aren’t going to be dancing.

Key Game: Indiana at Minnesota Tonight 7p (ESPN) The Gophers could get a mammoth resume boost if they ambush the top ranked Hoosiers at the Barn

Projected Bids: 7

Big 12
Conference Class-Power
Solid: Kansas, Oklahoma State, Kansas State
Work to do: Iowa State, Oklahoma
Skinny from the heartland:  No change in the solid teams, but the Sooners took an inexcusable fall from double digits ahead loss to the their despised rival Longhorns. They will stay right where they are and need to win out and may need help. Baylor sits on the fringe and for arguments sake return to sheet on the working list but they have an uphill climb to get anywhere near the solid list

Key Game: Kansas State at Baylor Wednesday 9p (ESPN2) The Bears could get some real notice if they ambush the conference co-leaders in Waco.

Projected Bids: 4

Conference USA
Conference Class-Major
Solid: Memphis
Work to do: Central Florida, Tulsa, Southern Miss
Oh Say Can You C-USA Spec: The Tigers are bulletproof but cost themselves a better seeding with a puzzling loss to Xavier in Cincinnati. They are right now the only team I have going, but are listed because they are ranked.

Key Game: Memphis at Xavier 7p Tonight (ESPN2) An intriguing late season non-con matchup could give more weight to the Tigers as look for a higher seed.

Projected Bids: 1

Missouri Valley
Conference Class-Mid Major
Solid: Wichita State, Creighton
Work to do: Northern Iowa
Missouri Valley Skinny:  I would love to know who has the crystal ball and could forecast  that the Shockers and Jays would be tied for the MVC regular season title? They are good to go regardless of what happens now or in Arch Madness next week.

Key Game: Wichita State at Creighton Saturday 2p (ESPN2) Expect a rocking rowdy crowd in Omaha for the MVC regular season finale, these two teams could likely meet for higher stakes in St. Louis next Sunday

Projected Bids: 2


Mountain West
Conference Class-Major
Solid: UNLV, San Diego State, Colorado State, New Mexico
Work to do: Boise State  
Spec from the Mountains:  The Lobos are howling toward the conference tourney and are only trying to protect their NCAA tourney seeding. Im still thinking the Rams Aztecs, and Rebels are safe as long as they get to the MWC semis I think that they are good to go. Now Boise State is another matter as I think that they will need to get to the MWC finale in Vegas

Key Games: Colorado State at Boise State 8p The Broncos keep trying to force their way into conversation, beating the Rams goes a long way to that objective

Projected Bids: 4


Pacific 12
Conference Class-Power
Solid: Oregon, UCLA, Cal, Arizona

Work to do: Colorado, Arizona State
Spec from the left coast:  I changed my mind, slightly. Cal I think has the chops to go. Im still holding out against both Colorado AND Arizona State both going. Though both are getting pretty hard to ignore, and with the dearth of strong teams in others conference (See SEC) 5 teams is likely but I have to hold the line for the moment.

Key Games: Arizona at UCLA Saturday 9p (ESPN). The Wildcats and Bruins are jostling fiercely to stay at the top of the standings with Oregon. The winner stays on the opposite side of the bracket from the Ducks for a possible finale showdown.

Projected Bids: 5



Southeastern
Conference Class-Power
Solid: Mizzou, Florida, Alabama, UK
Work to do:  Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee, LSU
Spec is Down South: Florida’s loss moves the Vols into the working class but they have a long long way to go to get anywhere near the conversation. As much as I despise Kentucky they are in 2^nd in the conference and with an outside chance of winning  a share of the regular season title. You really cant keep the regular season winner of a power conference out. So as it stands now they stay solid. While Bama is solid Ole Miss is still shaky and I don’t trust Arkansas at all. They have taken some puzzling losses. Now charging into the mix along with the aforementioned Vols are the LSU Tigers, their 17 wins are offset with a host of bad losses but they are still in the mix. Five projected for now, but that could change especially if Mizzou or Ole Miss go into the tank.

Key Game: Kentucky at Arkansas 4p Saturday (CBS) The Wildcats still have a shot at winning the regular season SEC title and are in line for a coveted bye, the Hogs need every win that they can get.

Projected Bids: 5


Western Athletic
Conference Class- Major
Solid: Louisiana Tech
Work to do: New Mexico State, Denver
Spec on the WAC: The Bulldogs are on cruise control and looked good with their first ranking since the Karl Malone era. The Pioneers and Aggies are still angling to be on the opposite side of the bracket heading to Vegas but need to keep winning

Key Game: New Mexico State at Denver Saturday 6p(ESPN3) With the Bulldogs almost home free, the Pioneers would love to make their rematch on the 9^th meaningful but beating the Aggies is a tall order.

Projected Bids: 2

West Coast
Conference Class- Mid Major
Solid: St. Marys, Gonzaga
Work to do: BYU
West Coast Spec: The Bulldogs are now the hunted, the Hoosier loss means that the Bulldogs will likely be the #1 team in the country , how will they handle being the um, top dog?

Key Game: Gonzaga at BYU Thursday11p (ESPN2) Forget the games over the weekend this would be a real bracketbuster, the Cougars could make a party crashing statement win if they upset the Bulldogs.

Projected Bids: 2

There are others in the mix to be sure. (Projected winners in parentheses) Teams from the always dangerous Colonial (Northeastern) and Big South( Charleston Southern)  always are in the mix and can send multiple teams. Of course the champions from the following conferences get an automatic bid: Amer. East (Stony Brook), Atlantic Sun (Florida Gulf Coast), Big Sky (Weber St.), Big West (Long Beach St.), Horizon (Valpo), Ivy (Harvard), MAC (Akron), MAAC (Loyola-MD), MEAC(Norfolk St), Northeast(Robert Morris), Ohio Valley (Belmont), Patriot (Bucknell), Southern (Elon) , Southland (S.F. Austin), Sun Belt (Middle Tennessee), Summit (South Dakota St.), and SWAC (Southern)

Since this is still spec, nothing here is solid and we haven't even brought up the possibility of upsets. But those never happen, right?

Next Spec Sheet:  Mar 5
