Yeah there's like 30 automatic qualifiers, about 4-5 will be won by teams that would have made it anyway. Basically, be a top 35-40 team and you'll be an at large bid. We are a top 20 program in literally every metric (NIL, history, coaching budget, ect) and are top 10 in several. We should honestly NEVER miss the NCAAT. I'm willing to give a mulligan to an otherwise promising coach and ignore a miss, but it should be rare.
