EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – As we roll toward February, there wasn’t a huge shake-up in this week’s Field of 68 projection. Yes, there was the usual movement among automatic qualifiers (9 newbies), but we only have 3 new at-larges, Arkansas (SEC), Oregon (Pac 12), and Wyoming (Mountain West). Most notable among this week’s at-large absentees is North Carolina, which suffered a pair of 20+ point road losses.
Automatic qualifiers are the team with the best conference record or, in the event of a tie, the best NET ranking. NET rankings are noted in parentheses. I’m rolling out a new format this week. I think this one reads better by separating the automatic bids & the at-larges.
