Auto-bids left: ... 17? (I think that's right.) Let's assume at least 8-9 of those go to locks. So these fifty teams, plus another eight or nine.

That means nine to ten seats left. (And since I think Minnesota and Oklahoma are likely in despite being done this weekend, it's probably more like seven to eight.)

Bubble teams playing: Iowa, Virginia, Maryland, Iowa State, Tennessee and Bama (playing each other!), UK, Ole Miss, La Salle, Temple, Southern Miss, Oregon.

A few of these teams are win-and-in. A couple more need at least another win later this weekend.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Nearly all of these games will be great. This is one of the best, most packed days of the year. No recommendations.

Okay, those Big East games seem particularly great. And the Big 12. Don't miss those.
