Ok, thanks, I think I get it. So basically we need to win as much as we can going foward in order to be in the conversation of being chosen?

I bet there are a lot of problems, like teams not making it that statistically should have etc.

Do at Large teams ever get anywhere in the tourney? or are they mostly knocked out early?

Cheers dude, I will learn eventually.

Yes, we need to go at minimum 5-1 these last six days, then win one or two games in the SEC tourney.

There are. It's a very hot topic come March.

Depends. Usually, the mid-major's get knocked out early although they are better teams than they use to be. But at large teams can still easily make a run.

From 2010, but it is a good read. 2010 NCAA tournament mock selection committee - College Basketball Nation Blog - ESPN

I would say that in any given year, there are more good at large teams than auto-qualifiers. You'd think it would be simple to look up at-large teams that have one the tourney but I'm not having any luck.

Noob alert. I have tried to read up on March Madness,(I have never seen it before), I am confused at how the selection process works. Do you have to win a certain amount of games to qualify like football? How do they decide who you play? Is it by wins or region?

i dont like to link wiki much, but i read through this somewhat to make sure it's accurate. this will provide you with all the information that you really will ever need to know about the "march madness". i highly recommend reading it, its a very exciting and fun time of year if you understand what is going on, greatest time of the year IMO. Enjoy.

I agree. Easily 1.5 billion times more exciting that any point of the football season, college or pro.

To follow up on this (since I did find it--kind of). Of the last 20 NCAA champs 8 of them have been at-large bids.

I don't do anything. I literally don't other than eat and watch basketball.

Good find.

Makes sense. I don't see any disadvantage to being an at large. I mean like duke unc only 1 can get auto and some years neither do and both are at large. It's not like good teams don't get auto bids, they do a lot of the time.

I don't even eat. Hell, I don't even get up in the morning, I just go into a coma and dream all of the games. Vols are going for their 7th NC in 7 years! Book it.

Exactly. I sit with the laptop and my stack of brackets next to me with a schedule of the games for the day, anxiously ready to mark each game correct, until inevitably someone blows up my bracket.

Just to brag a little, I think it was 4 years ago, my bracket on espn was tied for 1st after round 1 was over. It then blew up, but to see tied 1st on espn bracket challenge sent chills down my spine haha.
