    The NCAA tournament features 65 teams from across the country. Not every conference is represented, nor is there a maximum number of teams allowed for any conference. Thirty separate conferences are represented in the NCAA tournament by their conference champions. These are considered automatic bids. The remaining 35 spots are chosen by the NCAA tournament selection committee and are called at-large bids. The teams selected are often controversial, as there are always four or five teams that miss the field, but very well may be better than some of the teams in the field, particularly conference champions for the mid-majors. In reality, the tournament probably consists of the best 50-55 teams in the nation with others only being in the tournament on the basis of the conference automatic bids.

    No. Only the top 65 teams from the nation, with no discrimination based on conference. But usually, every conference in Div. 1 is represented.

    no all teams aren't playing but at least the top 3 teams from every conference are in the tournament. extras are added based on their performance in their conference tournament or season record.
