(I wouldn't say 'solid'. They sorta backed in when WMU got swept by LSSU.)

Whoa, there! FSU is by no means a lock. According to my records, they have
only the 13th best winning percentage and they have one of the easiest
schedules around. Their schedule is even easier than St. Lawrence's, who
has the 14th best WIN%.
 
I consider Ferris State, St. Larry & North Dakota to be close calls to get
into the tourney. They better win their semi-final game to improve their
case for getting a bid.
