Its probable that just because a team finishes in position 10-15 in the popularity rankings, they won't automatically be selected as an at-large and obviously, finishing in the top 9 would mean you wouldn't have worry about that possibility of not being selected as an at-large but I think finishing top 15 would still give a team a good shot of making this tournament.
