Actually, only top 10 is "safe". Remember that the autobid goes to the winner of the conference tournament, and there is no guarantee that one of the top 14 teams will win the conference tournament. We just assume that they will for ease of bracketology, and in most years, at least some of the autobids go to teams already in that top area.

Dude: i know that. I will take a lot of flack for this but I still think the only autobids given should be for winning the top 4 leagues and the top for league championships. I am not and have not ever been comfortable with the autobid being given to a team in the other leagues that may lead their league or win their championship against teams that could not rise above the bottom of the top 4 leagues. it is, of course, just my opinion, but I find these leagues to be so unequal in talent that at times no team from them is worthy of the 16 seeds and that is quite unfair to a bubble team that competes on a regular basis in a league that has 6-8 top teams on a regular basis. When a league demonstrates that it has a 0.25 winning percentage against other leagues, it should not be considered as an equal. I do not believe in affirmative action in hockey.
