Smaller conference auto bids will be slotted in as 4 seeds based on RPI

right same reason you never see major conferences as a 13-16 seed in march madness. They have plenty of conferences whose auto bid winner is a team with a 100+ RPI. 4 seeds are pretty much reserved for bad conferences auto bid winners. If lsu makes the postseason they’ll have an RPI in the 30s at worst. If we’re on the bubble come selection day and get in we’d be a 3 seed. Same case for any at-large bubble team.
