Field of 64 Projections: Final edition after reveal of 16 host sites

We officially know which 16 teams will be hosting a regional next weekend. The NCAA announced the 16 regional host sites on Sunday night following conference championship action. Now, it’s time for a fresh Field of 64 with brand new projections based on the top 16.

Multiple bids were stolen over the past few days, which resulted in some shifting across the bubble. Hosting wise, the race for the top 16 was a truly heated battle until the end. As many as 22 teams felt in contention to host throughout conference tournament week, and the final spots likely weren’t decided until the final hours before the reveal.

Four bids were stolen during conference tournament week. They were the AAC (East Carolina), Big Ten (Nebraska), Conference USA (Western Kentucky), and the Big West (Cal Poly). Cal Poly was the only arguable one, as they were on the bubble before winning the championship.

The full NCAA Tournament field will be revealed on Monday at 12 noon ET. To see a full list of every automatic bid for this year’s field, click here.
