In response to Bruno
1-seeds in their conference tournament get automatic bids to the NIT (including Bucknell and St. Francis). The Ivy League's playoff loser does not get an automatic bid, in part because it doesn't designate a 1-seed. (Even so, it's not clear who would've been the '1-seed' in this year's playoff.)
Yale is ahead of only three at-large NIT teams in KenPom (assuming more in RPI but didn't check), and George Washington / Pitt are right behind. UTEP is the real puzzler from a KenPom rankings standpoint, way down at 97.
