The term "mid-major" is overused, and generally used incorrectly. A "mid" major would be someone from a conference that has enough quality teams that multiple bids are a possibility and more than a handful of the teams in that conference don't require providing a map to casual fans to determine what state the schools are in.
The Atlantic 10, Conference USA, Mountain West, Colonial - and to some extent the WCC and Horizon are "mid-majors." The four teams we're taking a look at are really "low-majors." However, the way some of the teams below are tearing through their conferences, some of the big boys better hope these little guys win their conference tournament (and the accompanying automatic bid that comes with it) or the at-large pool could shrink.
UTAH STATE (WAC) - 19-2 (8-0)
OAKLAND (Summit) - 15-8 (10-0)
COASTAL CAROLINA (Big South) - 19-2 (10-0)
BELMONT (Atlantic Sun) - 18-4 (10-1)
FLORIDA ATLANTIC (Sun Belt) - 16-6 (8-0)
