Would be pretty hard for Jank to screw this up. They should fall out of bed as a top 30-35 team next season with all of that.

I hate to Jank the rug out from under you.... but

Some people just don't get the fact that there is no such thing as "P$hit" in basketball, guess they are prone to the ESPiN BS narrative brainwashing and are glad to help them spread it just like most of the talking heads.

I'd like to hope the conference could get 4 NCAA bids, but it may not be possible, now the P5 is taking up more and more of the tournament field.

Last season:

29 (78.4%) of the 37 at-large bids went to the P5 conferences

Only 8 (21.6%) of the 37 at-large went to the other 28 conferences



29 (44.6%) of the 65 P5 teams got NCAA at-large bids

Only 8 (2.8%) of the other 282 D1 teams got NCAA at-large bids


Here's how those 8 at-large bids were distributed:

AAC 1 bid
A-10 1 bid
MVC 1 bid
MWC 1 bid
WCC 1 bid
Big East 3 bids

.

Did it matter that the non-P5 teams won a higher percentage of their games last season?

No, because they always get the vast majority of the NCAA bids.


.

If the at-large bids continue to be parceled out like they were in 2021, there simply won't be enough bids left for the AAC to get more than 2 or 3 bids.

June update: Houston rises to a #3, Memphis holds at #7, and Wichita drops off completely.
