Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3730197, member: 1969"] While there has been a trend in selecting P5 school over mid-major, there is no real trend that Bigger Name P5 (Blue Blood + Next Tier) has got any more favours than other P5 when those teams have been on the bubble. The sample is small however for the latter so its hard to make a clear conclusion. If I had to predict one factor that could go Syracuse's way is that I think there is a possibility the committee tries to balance the # of P5 conference seeds more this year than prior years due to limited data. A conference that gets 8/9 teams in regular years may got one less, and a conference that gets 4/5 teams in regular years (the ACC this year) may get one more. [/QUOTE]
