There’s no hard cutoff for making the at-large field, but teams in the top-40 are fairly safe.The situation will change significantly over the next three months as the NET acquires more results to compute and the rankings better reflect the sport’s true hierarchy.That change could be for the better, or the worse.The Pac-12 placed just three teams in the top-40: No. 3 Arizona, No. 28 Washington State and No. 39 Utah.How does that compare to peer conferences?
