First NPI is out (games through 9/28) so this is silly season for projections, but it's still fun:
Last four at-large in: Muhlenberg, Middlebury, Catholic, Southwestern (TX)
Last four at-large out: Buffalo St., Bowdoin, Conn College, SUNY Oneonta.
multi-bid conferences:
NESCAC - 6
UAA - 4
ODAC - 3
Liberty League - 3
MIAC - 3
NJAC - 2
SAA - 2
SUNYAC - 2
Centennial - 2
Landmark - 2
Also, my assumption is we have 21 at-large bids again this year, I haven't tracked any changes in conference auto-bids from last year that could move that number up or down. If someone else knows about those changes, please post, thanks.
4:16 PM ET update-- The aforementioned NPI Summary Report which had been published earlier today was embargoed this afternoon and taken off the NCAA Statistics website. It is unclear at this time whether or not the report will be republished this week, or whether or not we will have to wait until after games from October 5 have been played for a new report to come out. Sorry about that.

A nit but the NJAC would also have 2. And I checked online for the list of this year's conference AQ's. I could only find last year's list...
Thank you for catching that, I missed that.
This means that Conn College would drop down to "first four out" and be the bubble team. Cutoff line is 41 right now for at-large. Still assuming 21 at-large bids available.
