I've been meaning to do one of these for awhile. Here's how I see the race for bids with just a little less than 29 hours to go. I'll be updating and reposting it as games go on and I release brackets.

That accounts for 61 of 65 teams, meaning we have 22 teams fighting for four spots, though only 12 or 13 of them have realistic hopes.
Keep in mind that if Mississippi State or Auburn win the SEC or Baylor wins the Big 12, at-large spots will disappear for those auto bids.
