Amer	3
WCC	2

Observations:

First off, the highest rated team in each league is awarded the automatic bid regardless of record. If you are new to First and Fan, read the Bracketbluster explanation.

As expected, the Pac-12 is a one-bid league, though Arizona St. would get in as an at-large if they do not win their conference tournament.

San Francisco is in as an at-large right now, but their strength of schedule works against them as the season progresses. Same goes for Toledo (currently first four out), Murray State (currently second four out) and Belmont (currently automatic bid).

Every Sunday from now until the Conference Tournaments begin First and Fan will update the Seed List for Men’s NCAA DI Basketball tournament. Send your comments on Twitter @bracketbluster and @firstandfan1. Enjoy!
