Technically, I believe that's >= .500.

Read it as "opponents under consideration when evaluating some other team
for an NCAA bid", instead.
 
However, I do agree with the poster that teams with records under .500
which win auto bids should be included in the TUC pool when evaluating
other team's NCAA bid selections.  I am not sure if this has ever happened,
but still it seems reasonable to me to effectively ignore the RS records of
these teams, in the same sense that said records are ignored by there being
auto-bids for conference tourny titles at all.
