Selection Monday is nearly upon us which means this is our final projection. The 16 host sites were already announced so at least we can't get those wrong.

We will list the automatic qualifiers first, followed by the Top 8 National Seeds, remaining eight host sites, and finally the remaining at-large bids to be awarded.

There are 21 at-large bids remaining now that the 16 host sites have been awarded.  The "bubble" for these bids is massive and the RPI is more of a conundrum than ever in 2016. Regardless of our predictive accuracy, this is sure to be an exciting tournament. Here's our last/best guess at it.
