Big XII has had two 3 seed lose

[Alsacs]

This great conference beat itself up and nobodies power ratings went down. This just shows how double round robins inflate schools ratings.

Also, Texas is down at the half. Yeah, the Big XII was the #1 conference in the RPI.

I need Texas to win a couple of games :/ On the plus side ND didn't look too much better.

The Big 12 had a comfortable lead as #1 in Conference RPI on January 1, 2015. Gap widened as the season continued and they pounded each other.

Had Baylor and Iowa St leaving early, but had Texas in the elite eight..... Damnit Baylor...

I was surprised to see that Texas was a 2.5 point favourite today against Butler. The KP rankings are almost identical, and its not like Texas is coming into this with a strong form or rep.

Hey remember when UCLA was a bullsh$t selection?

J/K I hate results-based thinking.

UCLA was a bullchit selection. I don't care if they get to the Sweet 16. Arizona in 2009 as a 12 seed was a BS selection and they made the sweet 16 before getting housed by Louisville. UCLA's resume was crap and the eye test argument was garbage.

um I said J/K...chillax. you know what results-based thinking is right?

I wasn't getting heated just saying UCLA selection still sucks even if they win. That selection honestly was just head scratching.

Yeah I know. It's results based thinking to justify it now...Which is bulls/t
