Message: [QUOTE="kirbivore, post: 1686409, member: 952"] Their stated criteria says they don't use the last 10 games a separate metric, but they are still human and some recency bias will creep in. Best example is SU's 2006 team. They entered the 8/9 game at the BET as a bubble team at best, and after four victories ended up a 5 seed, which is top 20 overall. There's no way that SU goes from bubble to top 20 in four days if the committee really stuck to the body of work mantra they preach. The committee got caught up in the Gmac frenzy and grossly overseeded SU while at the same time grossly underseeding TAMU, which is why the Aggies were 1 point favorites at tip off. [/QUOTE]
