Total 26 AQs

15 winners to date were the top seed, nine were wrong winners and two were wrong winners but did not affect the fate of bubble teams. However, of the nine, three would not have been taken as at-large but the displaced teams become so and bump three bubbles while in the other six, it is doubtful that upset victims could be saved.

6 to be determined and coming Sunday (A-Sun, CAA, HL, MVC, NEC, SLC. James Madison would affect the bubble situation if Delaware wins.
