This actually is not true. They said they were the first of the 4 teams that were last in to get in so it would have taken 4 more bid stealers to knock them out. They said once they selected all 68 teams they did a seed scrub and as they compared Miami OH vs each of the other 3 teams in Dayton those other teams won out with the predictive metrics and pushed Miami OH to the last team in the seed list for at large teams.
They first select all the 37 at at large teams then they seed them.
WAB was 37 for Miami OH a big reason they were safely in the field.
Their NET of 64 and kenpom of 93 are a big reason they got pushed below NC State, Texas and SMU for seeding purposes.
