I think with the playoff expansion next year the Big South is picking up an auto as well. Once Presby gets out of transitional status, they'll have six D-I's in the conference anyway I think.

You have to have six teams together for two years. The Big South gets its autobid in 2010.

Does the NEC have an autobid yet? I thought they had at least 6 teams already.

They also get theirs in 2010.
Having 6 teams together for 2 years doesn't guarantee an auto-bid, it just makes a conference eligible for one.

The playoffs are open to the SWAC and IVY leagues. They choose not to play.
