Those are the at-large "last 4 in". So they're from the major or mid-major conferences, and last year they would've been the last 4 left out. So, in effect, they're still considered "better" than some of the automatic qualifiers that are considered #16 seeds, that's why they still get a #11 or #12.
So, we won't get the automatic #1 vs. #16 anymore, until #16 wins one of these first round games.
