I think we can assume that IUPUI will make the WNIT, but to me, the two SD teams' postseasons are less clear.
I voted for both in the WNIT.
I also think that its possible for Omaha to make the WBI, but that is too many variables for one poll. If they did, it would be a record for the Mid-continent/Summit League. (5 teams in post-season)
We had 4 in the post-season in 2012, 2014 and 2016. In 2012 we had three in the WNIT, and I think we might duplicate that this year. Interestingly enough, this league has had an at-large NCAA bid once in the past (1994 - Northern Ill and Green Bay).

Both SD teams will be in the WNIT, 98% certain

Doesn't sdsu have an RPI of like 38? That suggests they should be in the NCAAs, but their resume isn't all that impressive. I'm going both in the NIT.

Also, according to the WNIT website, IUPUI got WIU's automatic qualifier spot since WIU made the NCAAs.
RPI is a weird thing because I think everybody would say that last year's USD/SDSU teams were much better and much more deserving of an at-large bid. This year, RPI's are better (maybe high enough to warrant an at-large) but both teams are a few steps behind where they were last year.

Could we see a first round SDSU - USD game in the WNIT? Where would it be played?

Looking down the 2016 bracket I do see a conference rematch that happened in round 2 between UNI and Drake, then several potential rematches that could have happened in round 3. The whole point of this tournament is revenue so it wouldn't shock me one bit to see them shoot for a state-U game.
