Based on Solon and GGSO, they seem to be on roughly the same level as Stevenson. Also, they beat Troy, Stevenson, & WWPS superscored at GGSO so they're pretty good.
To be fair it appears most of the teams you mentioned from GGSO were stacked so a superscore is kinda irrelevant. It doesn't matter if your B team is better than another teams...
We did not stack... we did a complete, albeit unbalanced, unstack (i.e., unstacked pairs)

Our MIT superscore is probably our most indicative performance so far, since that was a "stagger stack" (stacked pairs but split across both teams)

Is there any talk of "wild card" bids for Nats? Maybe for teams who have finished high at the bigger invitationals?

Invitationals would not be criteria for any type of "wild card" bid because not every team attends invitationals and invitationals are very unstandardized. National has already said they will be running the normal 60 teams per division, and there is no sign that they would have changed their minds.

Not very familiar with Div B, but:

1st place: Jeffrey Trail MS or NorCal champion
2nd place: The other California champion
3rd-60th place: Schools from other states

Accurate, but if Kennedy manages to blow NorCal states, I don't think the next team is a guaranteed 2nd, still probably top 4 or 5. Rounding out the top 4 would be Beckendorff and Solon in that order, 6-10 probably Daniel Wright, Longfellow, Fulton, Gelinas, Springhouse. Afterwards honestly just feels like anyone's guess. More than likely JT wins nats unless they manage to blow something big.
