Mid-Major basketball teams are trying to put the finishing touches on their NCAA Tournament resumes as the college basketball regular season quickly approaches.
Saint Mary’s moves into the top spot after an impressive victory over Gonzaga allowed the Gaels to clinch the WCC regular-season title. Boise State also returned to the Power 20 after a strong week with victories over New Mexico, last week’s top team, and Nevada.
While college football follows a clear structure with automatic-qualifying and non-qualifying conferences for the College Football Playoff, the term “mid-major” in basketball is more subjective. For clarity and consistency, MidMajorBasketball.com defines mid-majors as teams from conferences outside the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and Big East.
