Bids, Talking Bids

The first two went out yesterday as Austin Peay somehow won the Ohio Valley as the 8 seed and more than likely will get a play in game.  Yale also gets a bid with the outright championship of the Ivy.  They look to slide in right around 13/14.  3 more bids go out today:

Missouri Valley - Northern Iowa vs Evansville.  Hey, it's the two teams we figured had the best chance to upset Wichita State.  I'm picking Evansville in this one and will have to dig into the number on Wichita's at-large bid.  The pundits aren't projecting them to get in.

Big South - UNC-Ashville vs Winthrop.   Another upset as 1 seeded High Point went out early.  I'm picking UNC-Ashville just because they always seem to win this game,

Atlantic Sun - Florida Gulf Coast vs Stetson -Now, here's where it gets strange.  Stetson is on probation and can't go to tournament so logic would tell you that no matter who wins FGCU gets the bid.  However, this is the NCAA so logic is thrown out the window.  If Stetson win the bid goes to the conference champion which is North Florida.  So, North Florida actually had 2 chance in this tournament to win?

Bubbles bursting coming later
