Auto-Bids

As usual with this time of year teams much watch out for bid stealers. Usually there are 2-3 teams who get in with an Auto-Bid from a conference that already has at least 1 at-large already. Here are a couple teams I could see doing it this year.

1. Mississippi State - not on the also considered list they could make some noise in the SEC conference tournament. They were picked to finish in the top 3 in the SEC preseason and have been playing better as of late

2. Anybody in the Pac-10 except for Oregon State - The Pac-10 has 3 bids right now, Arizona, Washington, and UCLA. I guarantee none of those teams win the conference tournament. The most likely bid stealer is Wazzou but I could see USC or Oregon getting there as well.

3. Baylor - on the last 4 out list right now they have been a huge disappointment. I could see them ringing up 3-4 straight wins next week

4. Hofstra - could the Colonial really get 3 bids?
