*Quinnipiac is credited with the MAAC's automatic bid in Charlie Creme's Bracketology. I credit Marist with the MAAC's automatic bid from now until eternity, or until the Red Foxes lose a conference tournament. This is the "Marist Exception".
The new S-Factor is harsher on teams like Princeton and Green Bay -- really good teams from mid-major conferences. This is by design, given the NCAA women's basketball tournament selection committee's recent history of giving these types of teams seeds that are much worse than predicted. It was not by design however that Seton Hall, DePaul and St. John's would all be doing so poorly in the S-Factor. The new Big East has only four teams in the top-100 of RPI this year, and their conference RPI is just a notch above the Ivy League.
