Message: [QUOTE="FRANKIEFAN, post: 5014468, member: 6729"] I think the gift bids to the Big Ten, SEC, and Big 12 were intentionally left out of the playin. Each league got one MSU, MSU, and TCU. They got the playin right last P12 and ACC team vs the last 2 Mountain Wests because the latter conference probably won't play up to 6 seeds. Michigan St and Mississippi state forced to go head to head bc both were weak bids. ACC is way behind the Big 12 and isn't going to get the benefit of no play in. 8-9 seed is a tougher spot than the play in game as well and probably where these last teams with weak resumes belong. The committee thinks they can keep it close vs a 1 seed so they get in. [/QUOTE]
