Heat Check CBB is proud to present our 2022 March Madness bid tracker, narrowing down 358 Division-I teams to just 68 NCAA Tournament contenders.
Every year, college basketball has a flurry of conference tournament action from the start of March (or last day of February) through the afternoon of Selection Sunday.
To follow along with this year’s madness, we’re proud to present our 2022 March Madness bid tracker.
We will be updating this table throughout the month of March as teams move in and out of the at-large picture, get eliminated from autobid contention and, of course, clinch bids to the Big Dance.
