The major sports sites seem to have agree on these teams for the field:
ACC: UNC, Wake, Duke, Ga Tech
Big East: Syracuse, Boston Coll, Pitt, UConn, Nova, WVU
Big 12: Kansas, OK St, Oklahoma, Texas Tech
Big 10: Illinois, Michigan St, Wisconsin, Minnesota
Conf USA: Louisville, Cincinnati, Charlotte

That's 35 locks, plus 24 other automatic bids, leaving six spots for the bubble. The consensus is strong that NC State, Iowa, Iowa St and Texas will take four of those spots, leaving two for the field of:
Maryland, Notre Dame, DePaul, UAB, Buffalo, Miami-Ohio, and N. Iowa |
