Selection Sunday has arrived, but here are still a handful of automatic bids to be handed out before the brackets are finalized.

Parity has been the rule all season, and that has been borne out during conference tournaments, with one top seed after another falling by the wayside. Sunday's five conference championship games feature exactly zero No. 1 seeds, and only Illinois (Big Ten) and Yale (Ivy) are as high as No. 2 in the seeding. 

That run of upsets indicates the NCAA Tournament truly will be anyone's to win, but we still have a few more bids to hand out before we get there. 

Play begins at noon with the Ivy League final and heads to the traditional wrap-up in the Big Ten, which leads right into the selection show. Here is everything you need to know about today's schedule, including tipoff times and TV and streaming options.
