Bid Odds

I’ve done one last set of simulations for the remaining conference tournaments.  Here are the teams on the bubble and their respective odds of making the tournament, according to the S-Curve formula.

 
Team At Large % Conference Bid % Auto Bid % AdjWinPct Total Bids # At Large Bids
Middle Tenn. St. 100.0% Sun Belt 100.0% 0.0% 0.8194 4999 4999
Wichita St. 100.0% MVC 100.0% 0.0% 0.8493 4998 4998
Colorado 99.9% Pac 12 99.9% 9.1% 0.8674 4997 4544
Oregon 99.9% Pac 12 99.9% 10.4% 0.7929 4996 4475
Iowa St. 96.3% Big 12 96.5% 4.8% 0.8484 4824 4585
La Salle 87.7% Atlantic 10 89.0% 10.3% 0.8359 4448 3933
Cincinnati 74.2% Big East 74.8% 2.2% 0.8672 3739 3628
Boise St. 72.7% MWC 73.7% 3.4% 0.8377 3683 3515
Tennessee 52.7% SEC 53.4% 1.6% 0.8006 2671 2592
Mississippi 14.4% SEC 15.9% 1.7% 0.8041 794 708
Villanova 9.8% Big East 10.1% 0.3% 0.8289 507 490
Virginia 1.1% ACC 3.7% 2.7% 0.7980 187 53
Akron 0.1% MAC 50.8% 50.8% 0.7494 2542 2

There are limitations to using a math model like the S-Curve formula to make these predictions. I would certainly not be surprised if MTSU is left out of the tournament, but their unusual resume has been interpreted by the model as a sure bet to make the dance.  Similarly with Virginia, I would not be surprised to see them make the Big Dance.  Any resumes that are unusual and have not been seen before by the model may not be interpreted correctly, since there is no track record of how the committee will handle them.

Also, here are the log5 probabilities for all the conference tournament championships yet to be decided:
