Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4186006, member: 5685"] IMO it shoulda been 1985 onwards (64+ team fields). You have to allow schools with titles into the field. So...

Gonzaga 17, 20 [B]Houston 20[/B] UCLA 06, 07, 08, 20 [B]Auburn 19[/B] Michigan State 99, 01, 05, 09, 10, 15, 19 [B]Texas Tech 19[/B] Michigan 92, 93, 13, 18 KU 86, 91, 93, 02, 03, 12, 18 [B]Loyola Chicago 18 South Carolina 17 Oregon 17[/B] SU 87, 96, 13, 16 UNC 91, 95, 97, 98, 00, 08, 16 Oklahoma 88, 02, 16 Wisconsin 00, 14, 15 UK 93, 97, 11, 14, 15 Florida 94, 00, 14 [B]Wichita State 13[/B] Louisville 05, 12 Ohio State 99, 07, 12 [B]VCU 11[/B] Butler 10, 11 [B]West Virgina 10[/B] Nova 09 UConn 09 Memphis 85, 08 Georgetown 85, 07 LSU 86, 06 [B]George Mason 06[/B] Illinois 89, 05 Okie State 95, 04 Duke 86, 88, 89, 90, 94, 99, 04 GA Tech 90, 04 [B]Texas 03 Marquette 03[/B] Indiana 92, 02 Maryland 01 Zona 88, 94, 01 [B]Utah 98 Stanford 98 Minny 97 UMass 96 Miss State 96[/B] Arkansas 90, 95 [B]Cincy 92[/B] UNLV 87, 91 [B]Seton Hall 89 PC 87 St Johns 85[/B] Those are the eligible teams. So for SU the choices are 03, 87, 96, 13, 16. By current conference... B1G 8 Big East 8 SEC 7 B12 7 ACC 6 P12 5 AAC 4 A10 3 MVC 1 MWC 1 WCC 1 That gives you 40 at large bids, but only 36 are available. So there is a 1st four out from the worst 4 of those Final Four teams. The other 21 conference auto bids I am not taking the time to pick. From what the guy had I wouldn't include the below. Can't get an at large IMO if you don't even make a Final Four. Dayton 20 Davidson 08 Temple 88 St Joes 04 San Diego State 11 Houston 83 (pre 1985) Purdue 94 Richmond 88 UNC 82 (pre 1985) Rhode Island 98 Wake 95 NC State 83 (pre 1985) Georgetown 84 (pre 1985) Mizzou 02 Iowa State 00 DePaul 80 (pre 1985) BYU 11 Xavier 04 BC 94 At least one of Navy 86 or Lehigh 12 (one can be Patriot League rep). Edit you have to pick Navy over Lehigh here. They made an Elite 8. [/QUOTE]
