ALERT: Deadline to enter this year's contest has passed.
It’s time for CycloneFanatic’s “Auto-Bid Madness,” 2023. I’m co-administrator, along with @ImJustKCClone. This marks the 10th year for the contest.
The basics
Choose the automatic qualifier for NCAA men's basketball tournament, based on league tournaments, in each of the 32 conferences. Post your picks in this thread, do not PM them to me.
Scoring/tiebreakers
Each correct pick receives 1 point. First tiebreaker: Correct Big 12 tournament champ. Second tiebreaker: Highest number of correct picks that aren’t favorites (i.e., teams seeded 1st in their respective tournament).
Deadline: 6 p.m. CST Wednesday, March 1. A few tournaments will be underway prior to deadline, but in early rounds (ASUN is earliest opener, Feb. 27).
