Notes: 
-As of this writing, 3 possible "bid stealers" exist. Tulsa, Louisiana Tech, and Wyoming all have their conference's auto-bid, taking that honor from Cincinnati/SMU/UConn, Old Dominion, and San Diego St., respectively, who all merit at-large bids. Were those at-large teams to win their conference tournaments, 3 more bids would open up. Tulsa, La Tech, and Wyoming would be considered for an at-large bid, but probably would not make the cut at this time.

-Relevant to the above - I take the current leader in the conference standings as the auto-bid. In the event of a tie, I will take the best overall record.
