The likely one-bid leagues. We’ll discuss teams that could be exceptions below, though all of these either have 1) a clear-cut at-large candidate who will be a heavy favorite to win the league tourney (ex. Wichita State) or 2) the at-large candidate is at the fringes, but can’t be discounted totally:
America East  MAC
Big West  MVC
CAA   OVC
Conference USA  Southern
Horizon  Summit League
MAAC   Sun Belt
...
Firmly perched on the fence. These teams will convincingly play their way in or out…or will be waiting impatiently on Selection Sunday.
...
Valparaiso Truthfully, a team that belongs in the category above this. The Crusaders tried to schedule tough, only to see several of their non-conference opponents get hammered by injuries. Valpo also has dealt with a ton of injuries itself. Still, if one watches even a little of this team, there is no question it is one of the best 36 at-large squads, but our skeptical side knows the eye test rarely is applied to teams like this one.
