2013 NCAA tournament

The 2013 NCAA division 3 tournament starts on Friday, March 31 with women's first round games.  These are the list of conferences and the teams that have clinched the AQ from the conferences. How the 62 (64 women) teams are broken down as follows: 43 AQs teams that won their conference tournaments (42 AQs on the men's side) 1 team not in a conference (pool B team) and 20 at-large (pool C teams) (men's team has 19 at large selections).  The reason the women's field has 2 more teams then the men's field is because they're are about 45 more women's teams then men's teams.

Here's how I see the remaining 20 men's teams selected:
Pool B:
Going to Centre, the winner of the newly formed Southern Athletic Association, which doesn't have an AQ bid, so all 7 conference teams go into the pool B field.  Centre finished the season 21-5.

Pool C:
The way Pool C works is all 8 regions (Northeast, Atlantic, East, South, Great Lakes, Central (Midwest men), West & Middle Atlantic) each put up a representative, and they comittee members compare 8 teams to each other and pick the best.  Once a region gets a team selected, they pick another one until all 19 (20) spots are filled up.  With that said, here are my 19 Pool C teams:
Middlebury
Williams
Wisconsin-Stevens Point
Rochester
Virginia Wesleyan
Wooster
Illinois Wesleyan
SUNY-Plattsburgh
Hampden-Sydney
Mary Hardin Baylor
Wheaton (IL)
