1.    I think what is relevant about the article is the lack of schools outside of the top 7 conferences ( P5 + Big East + A10) that could be at large.  Only 2 teams in consideration for the AAC.  Only 1 spot for the MWC right now and Missouri Valley.    Not many potential bubble busters from smaller conferences.

The fall of the Mountain West, could be predicted in December, is quite significant.   It seems that the Pac-12 fared very well against the MwC teams in out of conference, which basically shifted at larges from the MWC to the Pac12.

The at large will be even more dominated by these 7 conferences this year.

2.  I also laugh at the comments to the article of people upset that team "X", or in this case Xavier, is not a "lock".   I have a very hard and similar definition of a lock as well.    A lock means that you can lose every single remaining game on your schedule and get into the NCAA tourney.    Sure those teams are basically 100%, but they still need to win a game or two.
