Multi-bid conferences:

ACC 5
BE 7
B10 9
B12 7
PAC12 5
SEC 7
MWC 2
WCC 2

They have A10 and AAC getting only 1 bid each.

Its pretty amazing to see how the Big East has returned to a level above the ACC. To see ESPN predicting more bids from the Big East than the 16-member ACC is one heck of a turnaround from that network

The NCAA website has each conference’s March Madness winning percentage since 1985.

Out of the 32 current conferences, just eight have winning records in the tournament's modern format

Here they are, ordered by winning percentage:

CONFERENCE…..WINS…..LOSSES…..PERCENTAGE
ACC………..,,,,,,,,318….,,166…..,,,,,,66.25%
Big East…………,,,,,286….,177……,,,,,,61.77%
Big Ten…..,,,,,,,,,,,278…..181….,,,,.60.57%
SEC……..,,,,,,,,,,,,,231…..,151…,,,,,,60.47%
American…..,,,,,,,,,,11,.,,,,,8…..,,,,57.89%
Big 12…..,,,,,,,,,,,,,..159….,,,117…..57.61%
Pac-12…….,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,26……,,,24…..,52.00%
CUSA…….,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,54…,,,,,,53…,,,,,50.47%

If the ACC continues to chase the football with teams like SMU and Cal while losing Virginia and NC we have a chance to catch them.
