When it comes to conference representation, the Big 12 remains the most represented, with eight teams in the projected field for the fifth time. The Big Ten and Big East are right behind, each with seven teams in the mix, while the SEC has six.

The Pac-12 is once again the least-represented major conference, with four bids.

Looking at teams on the bubble, DeCourcy has Notre Dame, West Virginia, San Diego State and Oregon as the last four teams in, with San Francisco, SMU, UAB and Belmont just on the outside looking in.
