No offense, but a 12 seed for an At-Large bit is BARELY making the tourney. So many automatic bids given to small conferences like Morehead State, UNC Ashville and others that usually a 12 seed is the lowest that an at-large selection will get for the others will make up the 13-16 seeds. Clemson, UAB, VCU and USC were the last 4 at large bids given based on the seeding.
