NCAA Basketball: Projecting autobids for each conference in 2018-19

Conference tournaments are just a few weeks away. Who are the favorites to grab the autobids for the NCAA Basketball Big Dance?

College Basketball fans our day is almost here! In a little under a month the field of 68 will be selected. After that date every team selected will get their chance to compete for the national championship. For three weekends college basketball will be in the minds and on the TV of every sports fan in America. These fans some of them diehards, others are just fans who want to watch the greatest postseason in sports.

When the selection committee chooses the field, they need to find 36 at large teams to go along with the 32 automatic qualifiers who have won their conference tournament. After the field is selected the committee spends their time seeding the teams. If a team currently is dead and can no longer receive an at large into the tournament. Fear not, the conference tournaments are right around the corner.

Conference tournament season gives every team that qualifies new life. Win 4-6 games over the week and qualify for the tournament it’s the simple. Bubble teams everywhere focus intently on the conferences that could potentially have teams steal bids. Bubbles will be burst, brackets will be busted, and fans will be at the edge of their seat for the duration. So, without further ado, here are the teams who will win the automatic bids into the tournament. Included with that is one threat to the crown. Many conferences have multiple threats to the crown, but for this exercise, only one threat has been identified.
