Ricky Nelson’s 2019 projected field of 64

This is what I think the field should be when it is revealed via an online selection show at 11:30 a.m. central tomorrow.

The committee and I have never agreed completely with our selections. If you don’t see your favorite bubble team below, then chances are you’ll be playing next week anyway.

My yearly at-large matches with the national selection committee: 2018: 16 of 21 2017: 16 of 21 2016: 16 of 21 2015: 16 of 20 2014: 18 of 20 2013: 16 of 21 2012: 19 of 22 2011: 19 of 22 2010: 19 of 21 2009: 19 of 22 2008: 20 of 23
