I don't see the committee "looking to find non P5 teams to justify letting in." I give them a little more credit than that (maybe I shouldn't). I think they're truly trying to find the best at-large teams.

9-4 record (actually, it's 10-5) against Top 100 is good, yes. But this is where the use of the RPI is flawed because it favors the mid-major programs. And when you have a team like VCU that plays more mid-major programs than a program like Syracuse, you're going to load up on more of those wins.

And look at where 70% of VCU's Top 100 wins have come from...

#75 Asheville (#116 Sagarin)
#82 Richmond (#93 Sagarin)
#82 Richmond
#85 Saint Bonaventure (#87 Sagarin)
#94 George Washington (#111 Sagarin)
#94 George Washington
#98 Davidson (#84 Sagarin)

Is that impressive?

I can understand the argument for VCU to get a bid. Really, I can. But to call them a lock? While teams like Syracuse, Providence, Indiana, Kansas State, and Vanderbilt are on the bubble? There's something wrong with that imo.
