I thought the play in games were to complete the field of 64 so the 1st round can take place. I may be way off here and if so please correct me so I will know how it works.

They changed the format a couple of years back. The original 1 and later two play-in games were a prelude to actually adding 4 more teams to reach 68. It is technically referred to by the Nc2A as the first round now, albeit just 4 additional games.
