Current S Curve for NCAA Tournament

Conference tournaments are underway (some have finished already) and others will soon start.  Some bids will most likely be stolen and reduce the bids available for bubble teams, for example, if Memphis loses, C-USA will get 2 bids, thus reducing at large bids by 1 for bubble teams, as Memphis will make it regardless.  In major conferences, these upsets are possible as well.  With no truly dominant team in any conference, this could be the year an unlikely team wins a conference tournament.  Here is how the S-Curve looks, in my opinion:
