MAC champs Golden Flashes have a play-in game vs. ND. Does this qualify as receiving an automatic bid?

It's not a play-in. Kent is the 15 seed to ND's 2. That's about right for Kent, based on their NET

Interesting that they left out Penn St (NET 27), WSU (NET 29) and Washington (NET 42) to add Michigan (NET 48), Vanderbilt (NET 56) and Columbia (NET 57).

Columbia's resume was not as good this year as last, so I can only assume that they are trying to make up for that, as they left out (in addition to the three above) TCU, Miss St, Illinois, Miami and Villanova to put Columbia in.

Seeds are strange though in many ways...

Don't see how UC Irvine got a 13 seed, as several teams, including Kent seem to have better resumes.

Syracuse got a 6 seed, despite being NET 44 (expect a 10-11 seed). UNLV got a 10 seed, despite having a NET 26 (expect a 7-8 seed).

Don't see a list of 1st four out for the women yet.,
