NCAA Basketball Championship Week is here, and we are officially two weeks away from Selection Sunday. It’s going to give us half of the field as there will be 32 automatic bids handed out over the next two weeks.

Dreams are going to be crushed for some teams, while other teams are finally going to achieve their dreams. Teams from multi-bid leagues are also going to have one last chance to steal a bid by winning their league or bolster their NCAA tournament resume. The games in Championship week mean more as every game there is an NCAA tournament bid on the line.

Tournaments like these are rarely chalk, however, most tournaments, especially those in the power leagues, have a top team win them most of the time. However, it always seems the Colonial, Sun Belt, the Missouri Valley, Horizon League, MAAC, and Northeast Conference embrace chaos every year. Those tournaments almost always have a surprise winner. The top of these leagues has some strong teams, so it is going to be interesting to see if Chaos ensues in their conference tournament.

Every season I have predicted the winners of each conference tournament and have given one sleeper to keep an eye on in the conference tournament. The 32 automatic qualifier predictions are back again, and I will attempt to predict all 32 conference winners and who will represent their conference in the NCAA tournament with the automatic bid.

I am going to provide one player to watch from both the winner and the Sleeper team. The Sleeper is going to be a team that is outside of the top 3 seeds that can rise and win the tournament.
