This year is much harder to predict because of the uneven schedules, the lack of non-conference games and instituting the NET. The term "Quadrant 1" win has replaced wins over the top 25 and top 50. (Quadrant 1 is similar to the top 50, but it is adjusted for home court advantage so that it includes games against the top 30 at home, the top 50 at a neutral site and the top 75 away.)

As always most teams are clearly in or out but the final few slots are up for grabs based on how you look at the data. This year I have 35 teams that are in and another 20 slots for conference winners, leaving 9 for the bubble,
