I for one was not aware of how teams are selected for the WNIT
out of the 48 teams
- up to 31 (31 if none in this pool decline)
the remaining 17 (or more if some of the 31 automatic qualifiers decline)
and I found this site with projections for the field, no idea how good the site it. It does not show us in either their projected field or the next X teams out. From the ACC it shows BC, Clemson, and Miami

Quote:[b]Automatic Berths[/b] - one berth from each of the nation's 31 conferences
A team that is offered an automatic berth by the WNIT shall be the team that is:
a.) the highest-finishing team in the conference's regular-season standings – and
b.) is not selected for the NCAA Tournament or the WBIT.
Should a conference's automatic qualifier team decline the WNIT invitation, the spot will then be awarded to either the next highest-finishing team in the designated conference or reallocated to the At-Large berth consideration per the WNIT committee's discretion.
the remaining 17 (or more if some of the 31 automatic qualifiers decline)
Quote:[b]At-large Berths[/b]
The remaining team slots will be filled by the top teams available at the discretion of the WNIT committee. Any team from Division I will be considered. Teams that are considered for at-large berths MUST have:
a.) an overall record of .500 or better.
1. Teams who are under .500 are eligible to submit a waiver to be considered for an At-large spot and the following criteria points will be taken into high consideration.b.) When evaluating teams for at-large berths, the WNIT committee utilizes at least six statistical ranking systems, such as NCAA NET, RealTime RPI, Massey, Massey BCS, Her Hoop Stats, LRMC, Bennett, and Moore. The committee also looks at the strength of schedule, common opponents, games against other potential invitees, record at home and away, how well a team is currently playing, and key injuries, among other factors. The selection committee strives to choose the next best teams for the at-large spots, based solely on team meriterit.
- Minimum 13 wins, excluding non-DI or exhibition games.
- 1-120 NET ranking
