Here's the bubble teams by conference that are generally in discussion. Based on automatic qualifiers I'd guess 4-6 teams below get in.
ACC
Syracuse and Louisville on the bubble; both at 18-11. If they are both in it puts the ACC at 10 teams, which may be a record.
SEC
Florida, Texas A&M and Missouri are bubble teams. Four SEC teams ahead of us have less than 20 wins and two may have losing conference records (Florida is 6-9)
BI2
Oklahoma has lost seven in a row and has a losing conference record and will not get to 20 wins. Baylor is at 18-13 and KSU at 20-8. If all these teams get in, B12 will get 7 which is too many.
BIG
Purdue, MSU, OSU and Michigan are seen as safe. NU at 21-9 (12-5), is certainly the fifth team if one is taken.
PAC
Talk about a weak league. Washington, Oregon, UCLA, USC and Utah are the bubble boys. I don't see the selection committee taking more than 2 from this group and 5 total from the conference.
Big East
Six teams seem likely in although Providence (17-11/8-6) seems susceptible to getting passed over. Marquette still getting love at 16-11 (7-8) though they seem unlikely to make it at this point.
AAC
Temple is sitting at 15-12 with a 7-8 conference record. They obviously have nudes of the RPI people.
A10
Need Rhode Island to win the tourney to prevent an extra at large getting taken. St. Bonaventure is generally seen as a at-large pick but they could falter or get passed up with their conference.
CUSA
Need Middle Tennessee to win the tourney to prevent an extra at large getting taken.
