and maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention, but why did Eastern Illinois only have seven OVC games while the rest of the league played eight? Just noticed looking at the schedules that they finished 6-1 in league play to get the autobid, while UT-Martin, who beat them head to head, and EKU both finished a half game behind at 6-2. Again, I'm sure there's a reason that's been explained plenty of times before but I'm apparently late to the table figuring it out.
