The ACC in 2017, the Pac 12 in 2016, the Big East in 2011, all got many teams in the tournament because they had great Conference RPI.  The Conference RPI is the driver of who gets in -- it may not be a predictor of the tourney results, but it drives the quantity of top quality victories during the season available to P5 teams.   And that always drives seeding and who gets in.

Once again, please don't shoot the messenger.    You can't just select teams based on whatever basis you think makes sense.   I am framing my arguments in terms of what they

For example this year since they said they now recognize power rankings, it would have been a perfect year to change the metric they use to rank the teams to determine what is / and what is not a high quality victory.   Use a real group of power rankings rather than RPI.   But I have heard no indication that they are doing that.
But even with power rankings they are ultimately heavily influenced by what happened prior to December 31.
