Chance of all 351 teams to win conference and get an at-large bid

If you are rooting for a team on the bubble for an at-large bid, who should you root for in the 32 conference tournaments? The answer, teams that will make the tournament whether or not they win.

You want Dayton to win the Atlantic 10 because TeamRanks gives them a 100% chance of getting an at-large bid if they do not win the tournament. My analysis of BracketMatrix picks of 124 experts indicates they believe Dayton is 20th best team from an election perspective, and the top 45 to 50 will make the tournament.

Click on CBS Sports list of all 32 conference tournament schedules (yes, the Ivy League finally has a tournament too!) and use the table below as a guide. As you can see, if Davidson or someone below them won the Atlantic 10 they would "steal" a bid to the NCAA tournament, and with VCU and likely Rhode Island also likely getting bids, meaning the Atlantic 10 would get four bids, leaving only 64 (instead of 65) for the other teams. TeamRanks actually gives VCU a slightly better chance to win the tournament, and the average mock bracket places VCU as a 9-seed (8.84) and Dayton as an 8-seed (7.69) - meaning Dayton has slightly better credentials for a higher seed, while the experts see VCU as the hotter team that is slightly more likely to win the conference tournament.

    SMU has a 40% chance at the conference title and 100% chance at a bid. They should have been listed as first in the American Athletic.
