This helps the SHSU cause for being a No. 1 seed, though would not be surprised to be No. 2...

Harvard beat Lafayette and Bucknell so it satisfied that requirement. "Team wins a minimum of two non-conference games against Division I teams representing a conference that has earned an automatic qualification in that year"
