Notes:
- Auto bid holders in this section are noted by the conference names in parentheses. If a team has won its league’s auto bid, it appears in ALL CAPS (ignore any teams known by their abbreviations here).
- Arrows indicate movement up or down the seed list (down to the spot on the seed list). This is relative to Sunday’s bracket (though I didn’t publish a separate seed list for it).
- New entrants are marked with an asterisk.
- For at-large candidates only, the numbers in parentheses after the team’s name are as follows: record vs. D1 opposition/record in Quad 1 and Quad 2 games/record in Quad 1 games only. Records reflect games played through Sunday, March 10, while NET data reflects games played through Saturday, March 9. I pulled the quality win info from WarrenNolan.com’s selection sheets.
