The bracketologists at ESPN are spookily accurate, and they have declared that the MVC has a 3-team lock, a 4th team almost at a lock, and 2 more teams in the hunt. A 5th bid is not out of the question for MVC. It definitely is out of the question for the Big XII, barring a shock in the conference Tourney.

I agree with you. But we'll see, I don't trust the selection committee. Honestly though, the Big East and Big Ten should just get half the at-large bids...
