NCAA Tournament Automatic Bids

Conference champions always get an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. Typically the first team to stake their place in the March Madness Tournament comes out of the Ivy League. This is because they have their conference championship schedules weeks before the big conferences start tournament play. Many people do not realize there are 31 different conference tournaments in College Basketball. (Actually the IVY league does not have a conference tourney, but the regular season championship team gets the March Madness bid.) That means off the top there are going to be 31 teams that make the tourney regardless of anything else. This is why many times your favorite team, who of course ranks as one of the top 64 teams in the nation, can still get snubbed from tournament play.
