St. Mary's/Villanova

Also if Old Dominion beats Baylor, which is very possible, that would guarantee a mid-major in the Elite 8 as they would meet St. Mary's. Not bad at all if this can be done!

After the seedings and lack of MM at large bids I really didn't expect to be seeing this many Mids' exceeding... I am very pleasantly surprised.

I am too. But actually we did see double the number of mid-major bids this year, up from 4 to 8. Of course we used to see double digit MM at-large bids in the past, and I don't see why this can't be done again. But a nice jump for this year at least.

Of course based on the performance of the mids this year, look for just one or two MM at-large bids next year if the powers-that-be have their way!

maybe it wasn't the "at large field" that was weak this year..
maybe it was just the major conference (BCS) also-rans that were exceedingly weak this year!!

I definately agree with this tornado.
