This is a list stolen unapologetically from a friend of mine on another site. The 30 conferences that have Automatic Qualifiers (AQs) into the NCAA D1 Men's baseball tournament. I'll try to make all the updates in this first post if possible, but this forum is a little weird and sometimes I can edit a post and other times I can't. I haven't figured out the magic sauce for this just yet.

...the next 2 to be added to the list: Ivy League (Cornell/Penn playing now) and Big West, where Santa Barbara has already claimed a share of the title, but if Irvine sweeps Northridge and UCSB gets swept by Riverside then Irvine would win the head to head tie-breaker. The Gauchos magic number is "1."

Add Nebraska to the list of AQs. That avoids a bid steal.

Georgia Southern committed two errors in the Top of the 9th to cough up the lead they'd held almost all game. That saves a stolen bid. GaSo likely on the wrong side of the bubble
- SEC: Tennessee
