Thanks so looks like Rpi will be very important in qualifying and conference finish is less important unless you finish first.


The playoff process will be different this year than in past seasons. Each conference will be given a certain number of automatic berths based on the number of schools in a conference participating in a particular sport. In conferences with 1-5 teams, the conference champion will qualify. In conferences with six or more teams, the conference champion and second place team will qualify.
Each region will fill the remaining spots in the playoff field with at-large teams based on their RPI ratings.

For seeding purposes, conference champions will be seeded first by RPI ratings. Every other school will be seeded next based on their RPI rating, regardless of conference finish.
