While teams get bids, not conferences....when doing a preseason S-Curve you can't do it that way. Otherwise if you add up all the probabilities, Power 6 teams dominate everything. So do pay attention to the conference breakdown, it'll help describe what I think of each conference coming into the season. Don't get too literal over placements of individual teams in the middle of the bracket.
