Creighton, San Diego State, St. Mary's, Virginia Tech, Penn State, Providence

WAC: Utah State

The Likely One-Bid Conferences (18 teams):
Binghamton (America East), East Tennessee State (Atlantic Sun), Portland State (Big Sky), Radford (Big South), Cal State Northridge (Big West), Virginia Commonwealth (Colonial), Cornell (Ivy), Siena (MAAC), Akron (MAC), Morgan State (MEAC), Robert Morris (Northeast), Morehead State (Ohio Valley), American (Patriot), Chattanooga (Southern), Stephen F. Austin (Southland), Alabama State (SWAC), North Dakota State (Summit), Western Kentucky (Sun Belt)

Notes and Changes:
• So this is it. Mississippi State won the SEC championship (which included a positively bizarre last ten seconds of the game), narrowing the bubble to one, and bumping somebody.
• Arizona's the team I leave in. Creighton, Saint Mary's, San Diego State, and Virginia Tech are my last four out, with Saint Mary's maybe having the most intriguing case. If the Saint Mary's portion of the discussion in the selection committee room was on pay-per-view, I'd absolutely pay to hear it.
