"The SEC's 14 teams were followed by the Big Ten with eight and Big 12 with seven. There are three potential second-round games between SEC teams -- the sort of matchups the committee is asked to avoid, but that became inevitable with the conference having so many teams in the field.
The ACC, meanwhile, ended up with four teams, barely avoiding its worst showing since 2000, back when the conference was half the size it is now."
I did not actually look into the field until after I made this thread. But here are some notes.
48 teams, meaning we may need six wins to capture the title.
Only one power conference team (11-19 Rutgers).
All games played on campus
Bracket is typically split regionally pretty well. There are four other teams in Texas participating that I'd keep an eye out on hosting: Abilene Christian, Tarleton, Texas Southern, and UT Arlington. We've already played ACU and TSU this season.
Other AAC teams competing are Tulsa and UAB.
Championship game broadcast on CBSSN. Last year's "Fab 4" were Saint Louis, Vermont, Minnesota, and Troy. Saint Louis ended up beating Minnesota in the final.
