My field of 65

Those of you looking for a non sports post, scroll down to my previous entry, no keep going all the way to the bottom of it geesh.

Welcome to Selection Sunday, like last year I am throwing my hat into the ring of people predicting the field of 65. I am no Joe Lunardi with ESPN, and I won't go as far as he does and put them in brackets, but last year I was pretty damn close. Lets start with the 1 bid leagues. The leagues where the team that wins the conference tournament gets it. These with 20 minutes until selection sunday!
American East- UMBC (first appearance ever I believe)
Atlantic Sun- Belmont (Home of 3rd place winner of Idol Melinda Doolittle)
Big Sky- Portland State (another newbie I believe)
Big South- Winthrop (year in, year out the eagles are dancing)
Big West- Cal State Fullerton (Dancing for the first time since the 70's)
CAA- George Mason (Sorry Tina, VCU won't be dancing)
Conference USA- Memphis(C-USA's only rep but it's a good one)
Horizon- Butler (Looking at anywhere from a 4-7 seed)
Ivy- Cornell (Who needs a conference tournament?!)
MAAC- Siena (The Saints heading back to the dance)
MAC- Kent State (Way to represent for Design Goddess!)
MEAC- Coppin State ( First 20 loss team to make the dance, your reward the playin game)
MVC- Drake (Some see this a 2 bid league not me, although Drake could go far)
NEC- Mount St Mary's (I learned they liked to be called "the mount")
OVC- Austin Peay (You'll be hearing the great cheer "LETS GO PEAY!)
Patriot- American (Another NCAA virgin)
Southern- Davidson (Not many teams want to face these cats in the first round)
Southland- Texas Arlington (Mavericks going dancing)
SWAC- Mississippi Valley State (The Delta Devils!)
Summit- Oral Roberts (Took down IUPUI boo!)
WAC- Boise State (YAY for the Duck's team, what a great conference championship game)
So that takes care of 21 bids from 1 bid leagues who gets the rest. Here's my take

A 10(3)
Xavier- The Bigger ? did they play themselves out of 3 seed with the loss to St Joe's
TEMPLE- won the automatic bid no sweating bubbles for them
St Joes- Beat X twice you're in.
ACC (5)
North Carolina- Hansboro looked like a fucking tool after he hit the game winner today but they are safely in
Clemson- Hopefully will claim the automatic bid(I am writing this late sat night)
Duke- Yawn
Virginia Tech- Played their way in with a gutsy performance vs. the Heels
Miami Fla- Should be in, but could be one of the last left out
Big 12 (6)
Texas- Could be the 4th 1 seed
Kansas- See above
Kansas State- Anyone else tired of hearing about Michael Beasley?
Oklahoma- A good showing in the tourney semi's
Texas A/M- Not sure what to say here but they are in
Baylor- Sweating it could be one of the last in
Big East (8)
Georgetown- Didn't win conf tournament, but will be a tough out.
Notre Dame- Some advice never take the Irish very far in your office pool
Louisville- Everyone seems to be picking these guys for a final 4 run, REALLY? Have I mentioned Purdue BEAT them
Connecticut- Take this team far in your office pool will be a beast to deal with
Marquette- Dominique James is too arrogant
PITTSBURGH- the Big East Automatic Qualifier
West Virginia- Did enough to get in.
Villanova- I think they're in, but will definitely be on the bubble
Big Ten (4)
Wisconsin- Badgers just keep on winning as long as they aren't playing us(purdue)
Purdue- not too bad of a loss, hopefully won't hurt the seeding that much either a 4 or a 5 I bet
Michigan State- Had the Badgers down in the Big Ten Semi's couldn't put them away.
Indiana- Quite possibly a defeated team, another one not to pick in your office pool.
MWC (2)
BYU- Pencil them for a Thursday/Saturday since they can't play on Sunday's
UNLV- Running Rebs benefit from conference tournament on home floor
Pac 10 (5)
UCLA- Strong candidate for final four run
Stanford- Can't beat the Bruins
Washington State- Cougars could surprise some teams
USC- OJ Mayo's only trip to the dance before he turns pro
Arizona State- Sun Devils sneak in by the skin of their teeth
SEC (5)
Tennessee- Hmm Vols look really shaky at times, and really good at times.
Vanderbilt- Good team in a very weak SEC
Mississippi State- Survived a Tornado and the Crimson Tide all in one game
Arkansas- Hog Heaven
Kentucky- Who would have thought UK would make the tournament back in Dec?
Georgia- Easily most impressive conference tournament run
Sun Belt (2)
Western Kentucky- Toppers know they are in they won the automatic bid
Southern Alabama- Last team in my field of 65, but the Jags make it.
West Coast Conference (3)
San Diego- Hosting the WCC tournament sure helped San Diego they earn the automatic bid
Gonzaga- Another tournament appearance for the Zags
St Mary's- Bound to wind up in the dreaded 8/9 game.

There you have it your field of 65. My last four in last four out would be
IN
Villanova
Arizona State
South Alabama
Kentucky
OUT
Ohio State
UMASS
Florida
Oregon
