Which potential bid-stealing teams do we root for an autobid?

It has been a LONG time since we have been on bubble watch, so it is that time of year: Time to root for those teams that are getting in anyway to win their conference tournament so that a team doesn't come from out of nowhere and steal a bid, popping someone's bubble. Who do we root for in these low-to-mid major tournaments?

Only 2 teams to worry about , Northern Iowa in the Missouri Valley and East Tennessee State in the SoCon. Only mid majors we have to sweat. Root hard for them to win their tourney. East Tennessee State will have a harder time as Furman , Unc Greensboro are legitimate teams with great records as well but not the metrics UNI has (37 in the Net ) and East Tennessee State has. (( 40 in the Net).

BYU already in. Not a stealer. St.Marys more vulnerable. Think they are already in as well.

Dayton losing would give A10 at least two but guessing they have that already.

If San Diego State doesn't get the autobid from the MWC, they will get in anyway making them a problem. I don't think any other MWC team would get a bid if it doesn't win the CCG.

i forgot San Diego State....Utah State is an at large contender....though this league will not get 3 bids.
