So if what you say is true, then this isn't about a team (in this case, Syracuse) not being good enough to make the Tournament. It's about them not having a good enough "resume" to make the Tournament.

Okay...

Who determines how good a "resume" has to be to make a Tournament? The committee.

So how does it make any sense whatsoever for an analyst (in this case, Gotdweeb) to argue that a team didn't have a good enough resume to get into a tournament whose selection is based entirely on a certain criteria...[B]when that criteria is solely determined by the committee itself[/B]?

It's like someone arguing with me that I shouldn't find Jennifer Love Hewitt attractive. Why would you be telling me who I find attractive? I have my own criteria as to what type of woman I'm attracted to.

The only argument one has is that Team A is not good enough to be in the Tournament. It should have nothing to do with resume or criteria because only the committee can determine that. And if Gottlieb or anyone else is saying Syracuse wasn't good enough to be in the Tournament, then SU's success is absolutely evidence that they were totally wrong about that.
