Bids By Conference
Twenty-two conferences earned an automatic bid. In eleven cases, the automatic bid was the only representative from the conference. Three conferences, the Great Midwest, the Midwestern Collegiate, and the North Atlantic conferences sent a single representative as an at-large team. One independent school was selected. Twenty-five additional at-large teams were selected from ten of the conferences.

Famous quotes containing the words bids and/or conference:
“Bookworm, break this sloth urbane;
A greater spirit bids thee forth
Than the gray dreams which thee detain.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
