      Yes and Yes

      Auto Qualifier
      Colonial
      Patriot
      SoCon
      MoValley
      Ohio Valley
      Southland
      MEAC
      Big Sky

      The winner of the NEC, if met other parameters, had a shot at also "semi-auto qualifying". However, those other parameters will not be met this year.

      Liberty, as the Big South's best could get an at-large.
